About Rachel
Rachel Sirek is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Colorado. She focuses on helping people make sense of emotions, manage anxiety, and move through life changes. Rachel often supports clients who identify as neurodivergent and helps them translate that self-knowledge into practical strategies.
Her sessions are straightforward and collaborative. She listens for patterns that cause stress or low self-esteem and then works with clients to build skills that fit their daily lives.
How Rachel works
She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help with mood shifts, panic, and trauma-related reactions. Rachel has three years of clinical experience that includes outpatient and crisis settings. That background shaped her emphasis on clear communication, safety, and problem-solving during hard moments.
She brings a calm, nonjudgmental tone and focuses on what works for each person. Her methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. She adapts these approaches to match how a client thinks and learns rather than using a single formula.
Clients can expect practical tools for emotional regulation, strategies for coping with panic and mood swings, and time to explore identity and self-worth. Rachel aims to help people reduce self-criticism, improve daily functioning, and find clearer steps forward. Therapy with Rachel centers on collaboration, respect for neurodivergent ways of thinking, and realistic goals that fit each person’s life.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move you toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It is useful for panic, low mood, and anxiety because it breaks problems into manageable steps and practices new responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. Those tools are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone struggles with impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel uses a collaborative process to choose or mix methods based on a client's goals, needs, and learning style. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques so they fit how a person thinks and lives.
Online therapy with Rachel can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it simple to send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or work through brief exercises without scheduling a full call. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
