About Rachel

Rachel Thornburg, LPC, helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and major life changes. She works with clients dealing with depression, ADHD, trauma, and struggles around self-esteem and anger. Rachel aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can feel less overwhelmed and more able to act.

Rachel takes a client-centered approach that focuses on each person's goals and pace. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from mindfulness to build calm and focus.

Background and approach

The Gottman Method is part of her toolkit for people who want to improve relationship patterns and communication. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Rachel helps clients notice patterns, try small changes, and track what works.

She also draws on emotionally focused techniques when emotions and attachment needs are central to the problem. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. This includes parenting strain, substance use and recovery, compassion fatigue, body image, codependency, and issues related to sexual identity or kink culture.

She also supports people coping with abandonment, divorce, first responder stress, and phobias. Rachel has five years of clinical experience and holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential. She works with adults in Idaho and conducts sessions in English.

Her style is steady and pragmatic, aimed at helping clients build skills they can use between sessions.

Online support

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Rachel blends the Gottman Method, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to meet different needs. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing repeated negative cycles in close relationships, helping people learn clearer ways to talk and listen. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and goals, offering a nonjudgmental space to discuss what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaboration helps shape which methods are used and how sessions proceed.

Online therapy offers a mix of formats: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or be used if bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief skill practice, or ongoing support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try approaches in ways that work practically for the client.
