How Rachel works
That background shaped her work on health-related behavior and stress-related eating. Her interest includes weight-related eating concerns such as binge eating and stress eating. In sessions she draws on acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, dialectical skills, and mindfulness practices.
These approaches are used to address anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and the emotional side of chronic health concerns. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, self-esteem, body image, grief, and addiction-related patterns. Her clinical experience covers work with people facing caregiver stress, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, and co-morbid conditions.
She has also worked on issues tied to fertility, veteran and armed forces concerns, and life purpose questions. Dr. Radin offers short interventions and longer-term work depending on a person’s needs.
Sessions are practical and goal-directed, focusing on skills people can use between meetings to reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress-related eating, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical and useful for anxiety, depression, insomnia, and eating concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and support long-term coping with stress and cravings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before and then recommend methods to try together. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what helps most in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Video works well for longer sessions and skill practice, phone calls are handy when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can access care that matches their routine and needs.
