About Rachael
Rachael Mooney is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She guides clients through life changes and supports work on self-esteem and coping skills. Her approach aims to be warm, practical, and collaborative so clients can feel understood and move forward.
Rachael trained at The University of Georgia, where she completed a Master’s in Social Work, and holds the credentials LISW-CP, LCSW, and CSW.
Background and approach
She has four years of clinical experience and bases her work on practical, evidence-informed methods rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Sessions center on clear goals and steady progress. In session she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also draws on client-centered techniques to build a respectful, empathic relationship and on mindfulness and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions and stress. Treatment plans are adjusted to match each person’s needs and preferences.
Rachael works with a broad range of concerns beyond the main specialties, including attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, control and impulsivity struggles, eating and food-related issues, guilt and shame, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood shifts. She aims to help people leave sessions feeling heard, supported, and better able to handle their day-to-day challenges.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working with anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so a person can practice new ways of responding. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Those skills give concrete tools for handling intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions, which people can practice between sessions. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Rachael will talk through options and tailor methods to a person’s goals and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows real-time face-to-face conversation for interactive work and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text or chat formats work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or gradual communication practice. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into work, school, or caregiving routines.
