About Rachel
Rachel Thornburg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Idaho with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are juggling stress at home, parenting strains, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief, ADHD, and issues related to gender and sexual identity.
Rachel uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that cause pain. Sessions focus on practical steps for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and managing everyday stress. She draws on approaches that encourage active problem solving as well as deeper emotional repair.
Her work often combines skills-based methods and emotion-focused work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how feelings and interactions shape relationships and responses at home.
Rachel also brings client-centered listening and mindfulness practices into sessions. That can look like slowing down to track what someone is feeling, then trying small experiments between meetings. She aims to help people increase self-awareness and try manageable changes that fit daily life.
People seeking help for parenting stress, grief after loss, anger, codependency, or complications from trauma will find a practical style here. To begin, Rachel asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session, which helps clarify goals and next steps.
How sessions work
How Rachel's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on careful listening and responding to what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach typically spend time clarifying concerns and deciding which small steps would help between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT often includes short worksheets or behavior experiments to try during the week. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and interaction patterns that keep people stuck; online conversations can help identify these patterns and rehearse new ways of responding.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily life. That means checking in early and adjusting techniques as needed rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Online work can make it easier to follow through on weekly exercises and keep momentum between sessions.
