About Rachel

Rachel Palmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 20 years of clinical experience, she blends practical skills and compassionate support to help clients explore what’s getting in the way of healthier patterns and greater wellbeing. Her style combines warmth with clear direction, inviting clients to reflect on feelings while building skills for change.

She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing to tailor an approach that fits each person’s needs. Rachel emphasizes empowerment and encourages clients to try new strategies that can produce more positive day-to-day results.

Clients looking for a counselor who balances empathy with structured tools will find a collaborative partner in Rachel. She applies ethical, evidence-informed methods and aims to create a practical plan that aligns with each person’s goals and life circumstances.

How Rachel’s Therapeutic Methods Translate to Online Care

Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients discover their own solutions by focusing on their experience and goals.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process; she works with each person to determine which combination of approaches best matches their needs, preferences, and goals. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and the types of exercises or reflections a client might use between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care despite busy lives or geographic distance. The variety of session types makes it easier to fit therapy into a routine and to try different formats as needs change.
