About Rachel
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with seven years of experience, Rachel Knudson helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She works with adults facing difficult feelings and life events and focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Rachel frames clients as experts in their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, actionable habits clients can try between meetings. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional intensity, chronic worry, and responses to loss and trauma.
Her background includes seven years of direct clinical work in Arizona settings. That experience has involved helping people cope after traumatic events and supporting those dealing with longstanding mood or anxiety problems. Rachel draws on proven methods to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning rather than relying on untested approaches.
In sessions she focuses on identifying patterns that keep problems going and teaching skills to change those patterns. Conversations are practical and paced to the client's needs, with attention to emotion regulation and problem-solving. She will work with clients to set measurable targets and track progress over time.
Rachel also addresses concerns such as attachment difficulties, abandonment, codependency, body image, dissociation, substance use, and the impact of domestic violence. She can discuss how these issues connect to current stress and mood problems and help clients develop coping strategies that fit their life.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow the LPC scope of practice in Arizona. Prospective clients should confirm specific session formats and scheduling options before booking.

How evidence-based methods translate to remote sessions
Many evidence-based approaches focus on teaching specific skills clients can use between sessions. Cognitive-behavioral techniques identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teach new strategies for managing anxiety and depression. Trauma-focused methods help people process painful memories and reduce reactivity to reminders of past harm.These methods aim to make therapy concrete. The therapist and client work together to choose approaches that fit the client's goals and situation. Rachel will review options with the client and adapt techniques to match needs, preferences, and progress as therapy continues.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be useful for brief updates, while video allows face-to-face interaction when helpful. Ask about the available formats and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire.
