Rachel Lackovic , LCSW

Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings more than 14 years of experience in social work to her therapeutic work. She has provided individual, family, couples, and group therapy, supporting people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, hoarding behavior, and difficulty meeting personal goals. She values working with a wide range of people and helping each person pursue the changes they want to make in their life.

Her approach is person-centered, grounded in respect for each individual's expertise about their own life. She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact - and she is a certified Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) group facilitator. These methods are used to help clients identify strategies, set goals, and build routines that support recovery and wellbeing.

Rachel frames therapy as a collaborative journey: the person seeking help leads the way while she offers guidance, tools, and suggestions to navigate toward chosen goals. She emphasizes helping people make healthy choices, take responsibility for their progress, and develop durable skills for coping and growth. Having worked in clinical settings, she is motivated to offer care in ways that address practical challenges and help clients move from struggle toward greater wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Rachel Lackovic

Rachel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, collaborative environment where the person's priorities guide each session - this approach is helpful for relationship concerns, life transitions, and building self-esteem. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; CBT is often effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills and coping strategies. In addition, mindfulness-based techniques are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support emotional regulation and coping with grief or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This shared decision making helps tailor treatment to what matters most to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy from locations that work for them and at times that suit busy schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support when life circumstances change, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to meaningful progress.
