About Rachel
Rachel Palmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who helps parents manage stress, anxiety, grief, and concerns about parenting. She brings about 20 years of clinical experience and focuses on practical steps parents can use day to day. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at making conversations feel useful from the first session.
She listens for the specific struggles a parent faces and works with them to set realistic goals.
Background and approach
Sessions often include learning tools to reduce anxiety, ways to handle anger, and strategies to improve self-esteem. Rachel encourages small experiments between sessions so progress can be noticed in real life. Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
She also integrates emotionally focused techniques to help people better understand and name their feelings. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are used when they fit a parent's goals and preferences. Rachel has experience across diverse settings and pays attention to multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and the impact of prejudice and discrimination.
She also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, and ADHD-related challenges. In-session, Rachel aims to balance empathy with practical suggestions. Parents can expect clear plans, check-ins on what’s working, and adjustments over time.
She emphasizes collaboration so each plan matches a parent’s daily life and values.

Therapeutic approaches useful for online parenting support
Rachel uses client-centered methods to create a listening space where parents can talk about concerns and set the pace for change. This approach focuses on understanding the parent's perspective and following their priorities, which helps identify practical next steps.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep stress or anxiety going. CBT offers concrete strategies such as short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that parents can try between sessions to see what helps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the parent's goals, values, and everyday life. They check in regularly and adjust techniques based on what feels helpful and workable for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for in-depth conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can be useful for brief check-ins or when a written record helps track progress. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around parenting demands and to follow through with short, practical steps between sessions.
