More about Rachel

  • 14 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I am a licensed professional counselor with 14 years experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, these include a hospital setting, the school system, and community mental health. I have worked with clients of all ages with a variety of experiences to include abuse/trauma, mood disorders, relationship issues, family concerns, and self esteem.

My therapeutic approach is to provide solution focused and client centered techniques to empower clients to address day to day stressors and predicaments. I have especially enjoyed working with adolescents who face a variety of personal life challenges. I believe in treating each client with respect and compassion. I have been told I am easy to talk to and help people feel comfortable in opening up about their personal problems and concerns. I will tailor each treatment plan to help individuals achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rachel Young has been my therapist for a few months now and she is great. 10/10 would recommend. She validates me and makes me feel heard and seen. She is always professional and I hope to continue seeing her for a very long time. I was matched with Rachel when I first stared using BH and I was, of course, nervous, but she was so caring and easy to talk to that we instantly clicked. Very happy to have found her.

She is amazing in everyway. I will follow her if she ever moves to a different platform. It's because of her that I had faith in signing up my son with Teen Counseling. So...yes! If you can see her, do it! She's very knowledge, quirky, and really exhausts all resources to help you.

I believe Rachel really understands my fears & has concern for my wellbeing & making me look to the brighter side of things or at least find a little humor when life is getting the better of me. She has me dig deep to try to find something positive in my day or to do for myself. She makes a difference in how I see things.

Reviewed September 2022

I have been working with Rachel for about a year now. I started with, and continue to, battle anxiety and stress as part of my daily life. Rachel always listens to what I have to say and she helps me to be strong enough to help other people that I need to help. Without her I would be overly anxious, overly stressed and depressed. I know that as a fact because she helped me to alleviate those symptoms in the beginning by meeting with her weekly and just having the best face to face discussions. I was comfortable with Rachel right from the beginning . She’s very personable, easy to talk to and listens very well. She remembers things from week to week that I don’t and helps me continue working through an issue until it is actually resolved, instead of just putting it in the back of my mind. I highly recommend working with Rachel. She is very knowledgeable AND she is very kind and compassionate. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rachel is fantastic. Over about three or four months of work, she has helped me to stop filling my head with negative self talk. Rachel is assisting me in rebuilding my relationship with myself after having many unhelpful influences on how I view myself. She is stable, intuitive, smart, helpful, compassionate, creative, and an overall delight to speak to on a weekly basis. I always leave my sessions feeling more grounded and confident in how to walk forward with my week. Rachel helps to foster positive habits and self care and she is an amazing person.

Rachel Young has made me feel comfortable and safe since the first session. I came to BetterHelp after seeing ads on TV. I have been stressed with life and graduate school and wanted a therapist who would understand me and help me form better habits.

Her sense of humor, professional expertise, and kind demeanor make it easy to look forward to sessions with her. I would recommend Rachel, and BetterHelp, to any friend or colleague.

Rachel Young has been stability for me. I am often high functioning and do not realize when I need help from an outside source until it is often too late. Having Rachel there helps me begin to find a way to better myself and how to make areas that are weak, manageable again. There are still days where it is tough, but Rachel finds a way to let me talk, listen to me when I make no sense, and really sympathize, empathize, and question why I feel the way I feel. I happily recommend Rachel Young to anyone that needs someone to listen and feel like while it is difficult you are moving forward and picking up the pieces. She has a sense of humor, she lets you feel what you feel, and she can be there for you on your way to self healing/mental check ups.
