About Rachel
Rachel Anauo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, relationship strain, and family concerns. Rachel also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, career challenges, caregiver strain, and major life changes.
Rachel bases her work on practical therapeutic techniques rather than labels. She uses methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, narrative work, and solution-focused tools. Sessions typically include clear goals, skill practice, and time to reflect on what is working in daily life.
Her Christian values are reflected in how she talks with clients about meaning and resilience. That perspective may matter if faith is part of a person's life. Rachel helps people clarify what matters to them and make decisions that match those priorities.
In sessions she tends to be direct and goal-oriented while also allowing space to process painful feelings. People often work on coping skills for anxiety, steps to reduce substance use, or ways to repair and navigate difficult family interactions. Practical homework and brief skills practice are commonly part of the process.
Rachel is based in New York and offers counseling grounded in fifteen years of practice. Before scheduling, readers should confirm current session options and any format details they need to plan for their first appointment.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Rachel commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy encourages simple awareness exercises and moment-to-moment attention to reduce rumination and manage strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and everyday life. That may mean trying a practical skills focus for a few sessions, then shifting to narrative work to make sense of a difficult life event.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins that work around work or caregiving. Discussing preferences for session length and rhythm helps tailor the plan to what can realistically be sustained in daily life.
