About Rachel
Rachel Thornburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with five years of experience based in Idaho. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, ADHD, anger, grief, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She keeps sessions practical and direct. Rachel listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. Conversations focus on concrete skills for managing intense feelings, reducing reactivity, and improving communication. She draws on evidence-based tools while centering what matters to each person.
Rachel uses client-centered techniques to build collaborative work between client and therapist. She also integrates cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test more useful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method inform her work with relationship and attachment patterns.
Mindfulness exercises are offered to help notice rising anger or anxiety and to choose a different response. Motivational interviewing supports people working through addiction, ambivalence, or major life changes. Sessions aim to be practical rather than abstract, with steps clients can try between meetings.
Her background includes hands-on experience with workplace stress, panic, substance use, and communication breakdowns. Rachel speaks English and practices in Idaho. People interested in starting are invited to review online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Rachel uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work collaborative and focused on what each person needs; this approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and working at the client's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools to identify thinking patterns and to practice alternative behaviors for anger and anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps map emotional responses in relationships and can be useful when anger is tied to attachment or repeated interaction patterns.Deciding which approach to use is part of the process. Rachel will work with each client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. That collaborative planning helps keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The subscription model used for sessions can make scheduling easier and can be canceled at any time. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy routine by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for doing role-plays or communication practice, while others prefer a phone check-in for a quick reset during a workday. Confirm the current session options when you sign up so you know which formats are offered.
