Rachel DiPippo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who holds a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and brings 22 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She has supported clients presenting with trauma histories, substance use concerns, persistent negative self-talk, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, relationship and marital challenges, anger, eating disorders, parenting stressors, ADHD, and a range of other life difficulties. Rachel integrates a variety of therapeutic tools including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused approaches, client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She works alongside clients to explore the factors driving unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to identify practical steps that create lasting change. Rachel emphasizes compassion and encouragement while helping people develop skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and navigate life transitions. Her aim is to help clients uncover what may be holding them back from greater emotional freedom and to provide concrete tools that support movement toward their goals. She values the privilege of accompanying people on their journeys of healing and growth.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachel blends client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques to support change in an online format. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard as they explore their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy builds present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional balance.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so treatment remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Rachel can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care through life changes, reduce travel time, and allow access to support from wherever the client is located within the therapist’s service area.
