About Rachael
Rachael Fowler is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports people facing trauma, relationship struggles, addiction concerns, and grief. Her work focuses on practical steps a person can take right now to feel steadier and more capable.
Rachael aims for a warm, straightforward approach in sessions. She listens first, then offers tools drawn from several therapeutic methods.
Background and approach
Conversations cover how thoughts and behaviors affect daily life and what small changes might help. She encourages clients to notice values and choose actions that match them. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience working with people from various walks of life.
Rachael uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build flexibility. She also uses client-centered and motivational strategies to support a person’s own goals. Many clients come for help with parenting stress, attachment concerns, or blended family issues.
Rachael also works with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, body image, and caregiver strain. She pays attention to how past losses or abandonment shape current patterns. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical.
Rachael helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills between appointments, and track changes over time. Her style is straightforward, empathetic, and focused on helping each person move toward clearer choices.

Approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and decision-making stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It works well for worry, low mood, and common behavior patterns that affect parenting and relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental space where the person leads the pace and direction of work, which helps build self-understanding and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachael will work together with each person to choose which methods fit best based on their goals, current struggles, and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying a method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what feels most helpful.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers written communication. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and access support from where they are located.
