About Rachael
Rachael Mooney greets people with a steady, approachable presence. She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker - Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Georgia with four years of professional experience. Rachael aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, life changes, or trauma find clearer footing.
Her sessions are conversational and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set small, manageable goals. Practical tools are offered alongside space to talk about feelings and reactions. Many people come to her concerned about panic attacks or ongoing anxiety, and she helps them look at what maintains those experiences and what might reduce them over time.
Rachael draws on approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, existential questions, and mindfulness practices. She adapts methods to match each person’s needs instead of following one fixed program. That means some sessions focus on thinking patterns, while others practice grounding or emotion regulation skills.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work from The University of Georgia. Rachael cares about practical changes that fit everyday life and about helping clients leave sessions with concrete steps they can try. She invites people to explore values, build skills, and reduce the things that get in the way of daily functioning.
Rachael works in South Carolina and conducts therapy in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect clients with a time that fits their needs.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals first and focuses on understanding their experience. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients articulate what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep problems going and offers concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety and panic-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, brings skills for regulating strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving how people relate to others, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can let clients practice skills in real life between sessions and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion. Licensed professionals can help tailor session length and focus so therapy fits into everyday routines.
