Rachel Sirek, LPC

Rachel Sirek is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who emphasizes practical, skills-based therapy grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She meets people where they are and helps them make small, usable changes to daily life and relationships. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at reducing overwhelm and increasing clarity.

Rachel often helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and issues around self-esteem. She also works with people coping with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood challenges, and the strain of big life changes. Relationship concerns and LGBT issues are part of her focus as well.

Rachel has three years of clinical experience that include outpatient and crisis work. That background shaped a practical, compassionate approach that values curiosity more than judgment. She uses clear techniques to support emotional regulation and better problem solving.

Her work pays attention to neurodivergent ways of thinking and processing, including ADHD and sensory differences. She helps people understand how their brain works, manage executive functioning struggles, and reduce self-criticism while building routines that fit the way they operate.

Sessions combine evidence-based tools and present-moment skills. Rachel draws from CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor plans to each person. The goal is to leave with concrete strategies that fit real life routines.

Evidence-based approaches delivered online

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is practical and focused on small, concrete steps that fit daily life.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make space for difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committed actions. ACT can help when avoidance or uncertainty blocks meaningful goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for stronger emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries when intense emotions make things feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. That partnership helps shape a plan that feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules.
