About Rachel
Rachel DiPippo is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Rhode Island who brings 22 years of experience helping people navigate a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Background and approach
She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief, intimacy-related struggles, eating and body image issues, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Her practice also addresses more specific themes including attachment and abandonment, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication difficulties, fertility and divorce-related concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her style is collaborative and strengths-focused, inviting clients to explore the underlying drivers of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and to develop practical tools for change.
Rachel draws on a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative techniques, tailoring interventions to each person’s goals.
With a compassionate, encouraging stance, she aims to support clients in identifying patterns that limit them and learning strategies to move toward the kind of emotional freedom and daily functioning they want to achieve.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness-based strategies. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many behavioral concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, creating a respectful space where clients' goals guide the work and their experiences are central. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce rumination and improve emotional coping.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with each person to clarify goals, assess what methods feel most helpful, and adapt techniques over time so interventions align with the client's needs, values, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or when in-person meetings are impractical, and they let clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their daily routines.
