About Rachel

Rachel Krier is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood changes, and relationship difficulties. Rachel aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and less isolating.

She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic attacks and panic disorder alongside other concerns like trauma, depression, and life transitions. Sessions tend to center on understanding what keeps symptoms active and building practical skills to manage intense moments. Rachel emphasizes clear, hands-on strategies that people can try between meetings.

Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental. She works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be named and examined. That tone is meant to help people feel steady enough to practice new ways of coping and relating.

Rachel also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, and the fallout from separation or infidelity. She helps clients sort priorities, set boundaries, and rebuild a sense of purpose after big life changes.

With eight years of experience, Rachel blends practical skills with steady support. She encourages small, achievable steps and follows the client’s pace as goals take shape. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s matching process and schedule a time to meet with her.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and gradual exposure to feared sensations. One common approach helps people learn to notice and name physical sensations, test unhelpful thoughts, and practice breathing and grounding exercises to reduce panic intensity. This method is useful for panic attacks, anxiety, and intense stress reactions.

Another typical technique involves problem-solving and behavior change to address relationship strain, codependency, and life transitions. Sessions teach clear communication skills, boundary-setting, and step-by-step plans to change patterns that cause repeated distress. These skills aim to make daily life feel more manageable and connected to values.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans as needed so work feels relevant and doable.
