About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience in social work and clinical settings.
Background and approach
She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside person-centered techniques to help people navigate depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family concerns, hoarding behaviors, and other life challenges. Rachel frames therapy as a collaborative journey in which clients set goals and she offers tools, guidance, and practical strategies to support progress.
Her style balances empathy with structure: she honors each person’s unique perspective while introducing evidence-informed interventions to address thinking patterns, coping skills, and behavioral change. In addition to CBT and client-centered methods, she draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies when appropriate.
Rachel emphasizes helping clients make healthier choices, build resilience, and move toward the outcomes they value. Clients working with her can expect an approach that respects autonomy and focuses on achievable steps.
Rachel’s practice welcomes people facing a broad range of concerns including stress, parenting challenges, career strain, chronic health issues, and compassion fatigue, and she aims to support each individual in identifying and pursuing the goals that matter most to them.
Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered principles to create a practical, collaborative online therapy experience. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress through structured exercises and skill-building. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person's values, supporting clients as they set goals and make decisions that feel right for them.Choosing an approach is part of the work together; the therapist will help clients explore which methods feel most useful based on their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so therapy remains aligned with changing needs and progress.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals who tailor interventions to each person's priorities.
