About Rachel
LMSW, LCSW in Florida with 24 years of experience, Rachel Schmittou focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting challenges, and depression. She works with adults who are seeking clearer communication, better coping with parenting strain, or relief from persistent worry. Sessions use straightforward conversation and practical steps to address daily pressures and interpersonal trouble.
Rachel starts by listening to what matters most to each person. She helps identify patterns that keep problems repeating. Then she offers tools people can try between sessions to test new ways of relating and managing stress.
Her work covers related areas such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver strain, control and communication problems, and loneliness. She also addresses divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, and women’s issues when these connect to the main concerns above.
Across 24 years she has supported people through common life transitions and ongoing mood or anxiety symptoms. Her approach emphasizes practical skills and direct conversation rather than abstract theory. That makes it easier to notice small changes week to week.
Clients are guided to set clear goals and to track progress. Rachel encourages trying a few different strategies to find what helps. To begin, a simple intake and short matching questionnaire are used to schedule the first session.

How her approaches translate to online care
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This approach is useful for everyday worry, stress, and depressive symptoms. Another approach centers on attachment and relationship patterns. It looks at how past experiences shape current reactions in close relationships and offers communication and behavior strategies to reduce conflict and isolation. This can help with parenting strain, divorce-related challenges, and rebuilding connection. Choosing the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust as they learn what works best. Rachel frames this as a practical partnership rather than a fixed plan. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to check in during a lunch break, manage brief follow-ups, or meet when relocation or travel would otherwise interrupt care.
