Rachel Hedlund

Rachel Hedlund is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, parenting concerns, anger, ADHD, and challenges around coping with life changes. She believes people already hold strengths that help them move forward, and she encourages those first steps toward seeking support.

In sessions she listens to each person's story and helps them use their own resources to address problems. She frames the work as a partnership and aims to make goals clear and achievable. Expect straightforward conversation about what’s getting in the way and simple strategies to try between meetings.

Her background includes a decade-plus of clinical work in Georgia settings. That experience informs how she responds to stress, trauma, and motivation struggles. She also has a focus on Veteran and Armed Forces Issues and brings that perspective into planning care when relevant.

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts methods to match the person in front of her. She emphasizes practical steps that reduce distress and build confidence over time. The approach is calm, direct, and focused on real-world change.

People who reach out can expect a clear path to get started, an emphasis on strengths, and focused work on coping with life changes and other concerns. Rachel validates the courage it takes to begin therapy and supports each step forward.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical steps people can use day to day. One common approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasizes building small behavioral changes and routines to improve motivation, manage anger, and support recovery after trauma.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to concerns, outline options, and try methods that match goals and preferences. Together they adjust techniques based on what helps most, so the work fits the person rather than expecting a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days and keep continuity when schedules change. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people choose settings that feel easier for focusing. Because the biography did not specify session formats, confirm the available options before booking to be sure they meet your needs.
