About Rachel
Dr. Rachel Radin is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 30403) with eight years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on anxiety, mood disorders, eating and weight-related concerns, stress, and parenting-related strain. She also addresses relationship and career stress, grief, addictions, and issues tied to identity and sexual orientation.
Radin completed a Masters and a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Her pre-doctoral internship was in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital. She also finished a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco.
Her training emphasized cognitive behavioral approaches, interpersonal and psychodynamic methods, and later added mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Over time she worked on brief interventions to reduce stress-related eating using mindfulness and motivational techniques.
In practice she helps people talk through patterns around eating, stress responses, and low mood. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness exercises to reduce reactivity, and values-based work drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy. Motivational interviewing is used when people feel stuck making changes.
People who seek her help often want concrete steps to manage anxiety, improve sleep, reduce binge or stress-related eating, or address attachment and communication problems. She has experience addressing health-related behavior and the psychological impact of chronic conditions. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How acceptance, CBT and mindfulness translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It often uses simple exercises to notice thoughts and focus on action that matches personal priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It tends to include short homework tasks and concrete skills for anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Mindfulness approaches teach attention and awareness practices that reduce reactivity and support behavior change, which can be useful for stress-related or compulsive eating. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals and day-to-day life, adjusting methods as needs change. That shared decision-making helps shape practical steps and short-term targets. The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can work on skills between daily responsibilities. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to focus on skill building, behavior change, and coping strategies that translate into everyday routines.Areas of focus
