About Rachel
Rachel Thornburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Idaho who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and the aftereffects of trauma. She supports those facing addiction, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. Rachel focuses on practical steps people can use day to day.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative and centered on each person’s goals. She listens first, then helps people try new ways of coping and communicating.
Background and approach
Rachel uses a mix of approaches that match what the person needs. She draws on client-centered work to build trust and on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to help with intense emotions like anger or panic.
She also incorporates emotionally-focused ideas for relationship concerns and the Gottman Method for improving communication. These methods are used to teach concrete skills, not to label or diagnose. With five years of experience, Rachel has worked with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue among other concerns.
She aims to create simple, realistic plans that fit into busy lives. People who choose Rachel can expect clear explanations, goal-focused sessions, and follow-up suggestions they can practice between meetings. She invites questions and checks in about progress as work continues.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing each person without judgment and building a plan that fits their life. This approach helps people feel understood and guides the work toward goals they care about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. CBT provides practical exercises people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She checks in often and adjusts the plan based on what is helping and what isn’t, so the work stays focused and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility that suits busy lives. Video calls let people work face to face when longer conversations are needed. Phone sessions can be easier when video would be difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, homework reviews, or coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, care duties, or changeable schedules.
