About Rachael

Rachael Mooney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia and a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and practices from South Carolina.

Rachael uses straightforward, practical sessions to help people manage difficult feelings. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and understand what matters most to each person. She also brings cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop concrete skills for day-to-day coping.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from The University of Georgia and clinical practice across state lines. That training and early-career experience inform how she structures sessions, plans goals, and tracks progress. She explains options plainly so people know what to expect.

Sessions may address related concerns such as attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control struggles, eating and food-related issues, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also works with impulsivity, isolation, life purpose questions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood changes.

In sessions Rachael mixes talk-based work with behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices. People who prefer clear steps and practical exercises may find this approach useful. She encourages collaborative goal-setting and regular check-ins to measure what is helping.

To begin, prospective clients follow the site's process to answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

BHow sessions work

How Rachael’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps clarify values and priorities by centering the client's own view and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that make life harder. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication when strong emotions interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together rather than sticking rigidly to one method.

Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how an appointment will be delivered. Online meetings can make it easier to fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time and shortening check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can work when video is difficult, and video can support exercises that use worksheets or visual tools. Discuss practical needs during the first meeting to decide what will fit into everyday life.
