About Rachel

Rachel Garrett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Alabama who draws on a background in social work and clinical practice to support people facing a range of challenges. She earned her Master of Social Work from Troy University in 2016 and has experience working in settings that include Child Abuse and Neglect with the Department of Human Resources, juvenile justice, adult correctional facilities, and inpatient geriatric psychiatric care.

Across those roles she has worked with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and compassion fatigue, developing practical skills for assessment and support. Her clinical style leans on client-centered therapy, which prioritizes empathy and the person’s own goals, along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to address thinking patterns, coping strategies, and emotional regulation.

As a therapist she emphasizes active listening, respectful treatment, and empathetic collaboration, aiming to work alongside individuals to navigate life stressors and build coping resources. Her LICSW credential denotes advanced clinical training and the ability to practice independently as a social work clinician in Alabama.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rachel Garrett integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and supporting the person’s own goals, making it useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and general life stress. CBT addresses unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors by teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression. DBT offers skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship conflicts, and coping with intense feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to identify their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts techniques over time so therapy matches what is most helpful. The choice of methods is guided by the client’s experience and progress rather than a preset formula.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how therapy is delivered, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity across life changes, and access support from licensed professionals without needing to travel to an office.
