About Rachel

Rachel Lahasky is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Mississippi with 17 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting concerns, and motivation. Rachel meets people where they are and helps them take the next steps toward feeling more capable and calm.

Rachel listens first and helps clients name what matters most. She uses straightforward tools to manage anxiety, improve mood, and handle life changes.

Background and approach

Sessions are oriented around clear goals and small, doable steps that build confidence over time. Her work includes support for relationship and intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem, anger, career questions, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people navigate caregiving stress, postpartum depression, and issues connected to grief and end-of-life care.

ADHD and co-occurring concerns are part of the range she addresses. Rachel draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches. She helps people notice patterns, test new behaviors, and practice skills between sessions.

Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to keep progress practical and goal driven. People who prefer a collaborative, steady style tend to find her approach helpful. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Starting is a simple process that begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's story and building on their strengths. It involves open listening and collaborative goal setting to help parents feel heard and to identify realistic next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns - useful for stress, parenting challenges, and low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and improving communication. It is helpful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship tensions that can affect caregiving and daily family life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the specific issues they bring to sessions. That choice can shift as progress is made.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people share updates, ask quick questions, and keep momentum between longer sessions. Together, these options increase flexibility so therapy can fit into busy parenting schedules.
