About Rachael
LMHC in Florida with 15 years' experience, Dr. Rachael Baker helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, relationship strain, grief, and mood concerns. She works with individual adults on issues such as self-esteem, anger, bipolar symptoms, and coping with life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Dr. Baker draws on approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She emphasizes listening and collaborative problem-solving while asking practical questions about what is and isn’t working in daily life. Expect conversations that connect current struggles to small, concrete steps you can try between sessions.
Her training includes a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and a PhD in Counseling Studies, and her credential is LMHC, the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Over 15 years she has worked in both private practice and agency settings with a wide range of presenting problems. That background informs a mix of short-term skills work and deeper trauma-focused work when needed.
She also focuses on adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, and body image and codependency problems. Communication difficulties, impulsivity, isolation, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress are within her noted areas of experience.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Dr. Baker uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy as part of her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harm affects current functioning and uses pacing and stabilizing skills before moving into processing when a person is ready.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and Motivational Interviewing. DBT skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify goals and strengthen motivation for change. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process based on your concerns and goals.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find virtual sessions fit around work, school, and caregiving because they remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make regular skill practice and follow-up easier to schedule, and the therapist will work with the client to choose approaches and a rhythm that fit their daily life.
