Rachel Garrett, LICSW

Rachel Garrett is an Alabama Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW, with three years of clinical experience. She completed her Master of Social Work at Troy University and has worked in several settings. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy questions, parenting strain, and related life changes.

Before private practice she worked in child abuse and neglect with the Department of Human Resources and with juvenile justice settings. She also supported incarcerated adults and provided care on a geriatric psychiatric inpatient unit. Those roles gave her experience with mood disorders, psychosis, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. She focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are geared to clarify patterns and test small changes that fit daily life.

Rachel pays attention to stress around relationships and household transitions. That includes issues that come up in blended families and new parenting arrangements. She helps people sort through communication, role confusion, and emotional strain without taking sides.

Her work also covers areas such as body image, eating concerns, divorce and separation, postpartum depression, aging issues, and feelings of emptiness or shame. She offers straightforward guidance and short-term skills alongside longer work when it is needed.
