Rachel Thornburg

Rachel Thornburg is an LPC who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, grief, and relationship problems. She supports people coping with trauma, ADHD, depression, bipolar symptoms, and issues around identity and sexual expression. Rachel focuses on clear, practical steps you can use between sessions. In sessions she creates a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels most urgent. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps clients try different ways of responding. Conversations often include breathing and mindfulness practices, skill-building from cognitive behavioral therapy, and attention to emotional responses in relationships. Rachel has five years of clinical experience and draws on approaches that fit each person. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client and incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when relationships are a focus. The Gottman Method informs her work with communication and conflict patterns. People who come to Rachel often want concrete tools for day-to-day life. She helps set small, achievable goals and checks progress each week. When addiction, trauma, or intense shame come up, sessions balance skill practice with support for painful feelings. Rachel is based in Idaho and works in English. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Rachel’s approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in the room. The therapist follows your priorities and helps you set practical steps to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors you can change to reduce distress and build new habits. These approaches are useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and changing patterns that keep problems repeating. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with you to figure out which methods fit your needs and goals. That might mean starting with skill practice from CBT, then adding emotionally focused work for relationships, or using mindfulness to manage strong feelings. You decide what feels most helpful and the therapist adapts the plan. Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it can save commute time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid the need to be on camera if that helps. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach skills, coach through difficult moments, and support steps toward recovery without promising any single outcome.
