About Rachael
LCSW in Kentucky with four years of experience, Rachael Sholar focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction. She helps people who are dealing with low self-esteem and substance concerns, and she also works with issues related to adoption and foster care, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are grounded in practical therapy methods rather than labels.
Rachael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to map how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people wrestling with change, especially around drug and alcohol use. The work is conversational and direct - expect concrete tools to try between sessions.
She describes herself as a real person in sessions, someone who will react naturally and share light moments when they fit. Rachael is open to including faith-based perspectives when a client requests that approach. She aims to move at a pace each person finds manageable.
Rachael’s approach is evidence-informed and practical. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and replacing them with small, realistic steps. That means specific skills for daily life, not abstract theory.
People who choose to work with her start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The cost of sessions varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How CBT and Motivational Interviewing shape online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. In sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. It’s a hands-on approach that often includes homework and step-by-step skill building.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person’s readiness to change. The therapist listens for personal reasons to change and helps strengthen motivation without pressure. This method is commonly used when someone is working on reducing or stopping drug and alcohol use, or when they feel stuck about making life changes.
Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation guides which techniques are emphasized in future sessions.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel and offering flexibility for follow-up work, brief check-ins, or planned skill practice. Licensed professionals often use that flexibility to make sessions easier to attend while keeping focus on practical goals and skills.
