Rachel DiPippo, LMHC

Rachel DiPippo is a licensed mental health counselor with over two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, and questions around intimacy and self-esteem. Rachel also addresses concerns related to eating, anger, career strain, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the everyday habits and thoughts that keep people stuck.

Rachel trained at the master's level in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and draws on 22 years in varied settings. She meets people where they are and works together to set clear goals. Sessions focus on understanding the thoughts and daily habits that shape feelings and behavior, and on building practical skills to change them.

Her approach adjusts to each person's needs. Rachel uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the person in front of her. She integrates cognitive behavioral work to notice and shift unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness techniques to strengthen moment-to-moment awareness.

Motivational interviewing and narrative ideas often appear when change feels stalled or when a person wants to rewrite a painful story. Rachel emphasizes collaboration: you and she decide what to try and how to measure progress. The work tends to be practical and goal-oriented, with room for exploring deeper patterns when needed.

People who choose Rachel can expect straightforward talk, hands-on tools, and steady support as they practice new habits and ways of thinking. She aims to help people move from feeling constrained by old patterns toward living with more ease and choice.

How Rachel Uses Approaches Online to Change Thoughts and Habits

Client-centered therapy is about listening deeply and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to present-moment experience and can help with anxiety, emotional reactivity, or habitual patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first, based on hopes, needs, and what feels doable. She treats approaches as tools to test rather than fixed labels, and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice new skills in the environments where they live and work, then bring those experiences back into sessions for reflection and next steps.
