About Rachel
Rachel Dowell is a licensed clinical social worker with five years of experience. She takes a person-centered approach and focuses on listening without judgment while offering honest, practical feedback. Rachel aims to help people move through strong emotions and difficult moments with steady support.
She blends several approaches to meet each person's needs. Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behaviors. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.
Background and approach
Rachel brings experience working with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing relationship strain, substance use and co-occurring conditions, and the aftermath of loss or traumatic events. Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and communication problems.
Sessions focus on practical skills people can try between meetings. Rachel offers grounding and processing tools, thought-behavior work, and goal-focused exercises. Where trauma is present, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) techniques as part of processing.
People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Rachel helps clients set clear goals and checks in about progress. Her Missouri licensure is LCSW and she provides services in English.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Rachel integrates the Gottman Method and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work. The Gottman Method offers structured ways to improve communication and reduce conflict, which can help people handle relationship strain and recurring arguments. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and moving forward after loss.She combines those with a client-centered stance so the choice of approach is collaborative. Together, therapist and client look at goals, life demands, and preferences to decide what to try first. Plans are adjusted as progress is tracked and new needs appear, keeping the process flexible and focused on meaningful change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to get care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
