About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pennsylvania with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Rachel centers sessions on the person's goals and practical steps they can take toward change.
She favors a person-centered stance, meeting people where they are and treating them as the expert on their own life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused ideas shape how she helps people notice patterns and try different strategies.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about change. Sessions tend to focus on clear, achievable goals. Rachel helps clients identify small experiments to change thinking and behavior, calm down in hard moments, and strengthen problem-solving skills.
She also addresses issues such as relationship strain, anger, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Rachel has worked across individual, group, and clinical settings, and she brings that breadth into her online practice. She often supports people managing chronic illness, caregiver stress, bereavement, and life transitions by combining practical tools with compassionate listening.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Clients set the direction and Rachel offers options, exercises, and reflections to try between sessions. The work aims to build skills that fit everyday life and help people move toward the outcomes they choose.

How these approaches translate to online care
Rachel blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors through small experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices that lower stress and help people respond rather than react.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work focused on each person’s goals and experience. This means the therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s lead while offering options. Together they decide which methods fit the person’s needs and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can suit quick check-ins or brief reflections between meetings. These formats let people fit sessions into busy days, manage ongoing challenges, and try new skills in real time while staying connected with a licensed professional.
