Rachel Garry , LPC

Rachel Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 5 years of experience across multiple clinical settings, including a family counseling center, an outpatient hospital, and a community college. She has worked with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction and substance use concerns, difficult career or educational decisions, and a variety of family challenges.

Rachel favors a client-centered approach that prioritizes each person's individual needs and strengths, meeting clients where they are and tailoring work to what fits best for them. She commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques to help clients explore patterns, set achievable goals, and build practical strategies for change.

She views therapy as a collaborative process and considers it a privilege to join clients in their efforts to feel better and navigate life transitions. Prospective clients can expect a respectful, goal-oriented style that focuses on the client’s values and preferences while selecting the most appropriate methods together.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachel Garry uses several evidence-informed approaches to support clients online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting partnership, allowing clients to lead the pace and topics of sessions while the therapist offers empathy and support; this approach is useful for people seeking a respectful, person-focused space to explore concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical exercises and skill-building, and it can be effective for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy introduces gentle awareness practices and present-moment skills to help reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and mood challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Rachel will collaborate with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what is most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and allow therapy to fit into different schedules while supporting continuity of care.
