Rachel Garry , LPC

Rachel Garry, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 5 years of experience across community-based and clinical settings. She has worked in a family counseling center, an outpatient hospital, and at a community college, bringing a broad perspective to supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, addiction and substance use concerns, career and educational decisions, and family-related challenges. Rachel approaches each person as an individual, tailoring care to what works best for them and drawing on a range of therapeutic methods to meet specific needs.

Her practice is grounded in a client-centered philosophy that prioritizes the client’s goals and preferences. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, Solution-Focused Therapy to set practical goals and build on strengths, Motivational Interviewing to support change when ambivalence is present, and Mindfulness techniques to increase present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Rachel explains that these approaches are selected collaboratively so that treatment aligns with each person’s situation.

She views therapy as a collaborative partnership and considers it a privilege to work alongside people as they pursue healing and improved well-being. Rachel aims to create a respectful, goal-oriented environment where clients can explore concerns related to relationships, grief, parenting, mood disorders, ADHD, and other life changes.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Rachel Garry integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s perspective and building a respectful, empathetic relationship so clients can set their own goals and move at their own pace. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy techniques to help clients increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress. Mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation and are often combined with other approaches to reinforce coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to try strategies, review progress, and adjust direction as needed. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other responsibilities. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support across different communication styles and schedules, making it easier to access therapy in a way that fits daily life.
