Rachael Izquierdo , LMFT

Rachael Izquierdo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), a qualified supervisor, and a trauma-informed yoga teacher with more than 26 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. She focuses on diagnosing and treating anxiety, depression, attention challenges, and a range of behavioral and interpersonal concerns, bringing a family-centered perspective to each case.

Her practice emphasizes support for family life, health and wellness, teenage struggles, parenting skills, and improving communication within the home. Rachael draws on trauma-informed approaches and therapeutic techniques to help clients build practical skills, strengthen relationships, and navigate life transitions. She balances clinical work with a commitment to wellbeing outside the office and models that balance in her approach to care.

Outside of therapy, Rachael often practices yoga, cooks, listens to music, and spends time with her husband, children, and two dogs. She brings that same attention to balance and wellbeing to her clinical work. Rachael is not currently accepting new clients.

Approaches and Online Care with Rachael Izquierdo

Rachael integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and supports the person in finding their own solutions - it is useful for building self-awareness and strengthening motivation. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often applied to anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and helps clients develop practical coping skills. EFT concentrates on emotions and relational patterns, helping individuals and couples understand and reshape emotional responses to improve connection and resolve conflicts.

Rachael approaches selection of techniques collaboratively, working with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts the plan as therapy progresses so clients receive approaches that fit their situation.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access licensed professionals from home, during breaks, or while managing busy family and work commitments.
