About Rachel
Rachel Hedlund is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. She also helps with trauma and abuse recovery, parenting strain, anger, attention challenges like ADHD, and issues related to veterans and the armed forces.
Rachel starts by treating each person as the expert on their own life.
How Rachel works
She listens first to understand what matters most to the client. Then she helps build on existing strengths to create workable steps forward. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with simple tools and clear goals.
Her style is straightforward and encouraging. Rachel aims to make therapy feel manageable even when problems seem big. She offers ideas for coping, ways to reduce overwhelm, and ways to rebuild confidence after hard experiences.
People using her services can expect focus on real-world changes. That may include learning new ways to respond to stress, practicing skills for mood regulation, or planning small behavior changes that add up over time. Rachel values small wins and tracks progress with the person she’s helping.
Starting therapy is often the hardest part, and Rachel acknowledges that courage. She supports clients through the early steps and helps them find a path that fits their life and goals.

Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on specific problems and clear strategies. One approach emphasizes coping skills for stress and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and simple behavior changes to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach concentrates on trauma recovery and safety, helping people process painful experiences at a pace they can manage while building ways to feel more stable day to day.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to learn what they need and what feels comfortable, then adjusts methods as goals evolve. Clients and the therapist review progress together and change course when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interactions without travel. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, quick coaching, or scheduling check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into a busy routine while still getting focused therapeutic support.
