About Rachael
Rachael McPheron is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) in Ohio with 11 years of experience. She helps people facing hard changes and emotional struggles. She focuses on practical steps and steady support rather than quick fixes.

Background and approach
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She creates space for someone to name what feels hard and then looks at patterns that keep those problems going. Sessions involve talking through situations, trying new ways of responding, and practicing skills that can be used day to day.
Rachael uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with mindfulness and narrative work. She adapts tools to each person’s goals, whether that means managing intense emotions, improving communication, or coping with loss. People who reach out can expect clear goals and concrete strategies.

Approaches that fit online work
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change feelings. It is useful for depression, anxiety, panic, and managing anger by breaking unhelpful cycles.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It can help people who struggle with intense reactions, chronic anger, or relationship conflicts.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices into everyday life to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It often pairs well with CBT and DBT when the goal is to notice triggers and respond differently.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they pick and adapt methods so sessions feel useful and realistic for the client’s life.
Online options make it easier to fit care into a busy week. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good shorter option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, between-session coaching, or people who prefer typing to talking. These formats provide flexibility for practicing skills consistently and keeping therapy going through life’s changes.
