About Rachel

Rachel Hedlund is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings 12 years of experience working with adults on common and complex concerns. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's strengths.

Rachel focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. She also helps people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation, and life changes. ADHD is listed among her areas of focus, and she offers support around related challenges.

Background and approach

Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their own life. Sessions are collaborative and practical. Rachel works to identify small, doable steps clients can try between sessions.

She has experience addressing issues that can affect people connected to military service, listed as veteran and armed forces issues. That background informs how she listens and responds to concerns tied to that experience. Rachel encourages people to notice their strengths and use those skills to move forward.

The process starts with a simple match and scheduling step online, and then shifts into goal-focused work tailored to what the client wants to change.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional regulation. One common approach emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce worry and lift mood. This method helps when anxiety or depression make daily tasks feel overwhelming.

Another approach centers on skills to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity. It teaches breathing, grounding, and step-by-step plans to respond differently when anger or trauma reminders come up. These skills are aimed at helping people handle intense moments and keep moving toward their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is a quick way to check in or get brief support between sessions. These options support consistent care while giving clients flexibility in how they connect.
