About Rachael
Rachael Mooney is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with four years of experience. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Rachael aims to make sessions feel respectful and down-to-earth so people can speak freely about what’s hard right now.
Rachael tailors each plan to the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods that follow the client’s pace and goals, and she draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas for skills and structure. Mindfulness and existential questions are woven in when they fit the client’s needs.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from The University of Georgia and clinical practice across Georgia and South Carolina. Rachael also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image concerns, attachment issues, and obsessions or compulsions among other focused areas.
Sessions are collaborative and interactive. Expect concrete tools for managing panic, mood, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming stress alongside space to talk about meaning, purpose, and relationships. The goal is to leave sessions with something you can try between meetings.
Rachael works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy process and schedule based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s goals and rhythm. It involves listening closely and following what the client says matters most, which helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic space to sort things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers clear steps and tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and certain obsessive or compulsive problems because it gives practical techniques to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Those skills can be useful for impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, adjusting the plan based on what helps. This is a collaborative process where client feedback shapes next steps.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, such as using shorter check-ins around work or avoiding travel time. If you want to know the exact session formats offered, confirm current options before booking so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
