About Rachel
Rachel Krueger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Rachel aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them and find practical ways forward.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set small, concrete goals they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include problem-solving, skills practice, and checking what worked so the plan can be adjusted. Rachel has worked with people managing family and parenting concerns, blended family challenges, and communication problems. She also supports those facing mood disorders, seasonal affective disorder, and midlife transitions.
She pays attention to how family of origin issues and life purpose concerns shape current patterns. She uses methods drawn from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work.
That mix lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs in the moment - whether that is emotion regulation skills, changing unhelpful thoughts, or planning small behavior changes. Rachel practices from Michigan and conducts sessions in English. Her style is approachable and goal-oriented, suited to people who want clear tools and steady support as they make changes.
Practical approaches for online care
Rachel blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in clear, easy-to-understand ways. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely and helping people name what matters most, which is useful for exploring life purpose and family concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches steps people can try to reduce anxiety and lift mood.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation is a priority. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving communication, which can help with mood disorders and relationship strain. Rachel treats choice of approach as a team decision and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video is good for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reminders and short check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
