About Rachel
Rachel Horn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with four years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship matters. Rachel lists LGBT issues, parenting, blended family issues, addictions, trauma, and intimacy-related problems among her areas of focus.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort out what is most pressing. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about choices. Rachel draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values.
Rachel also uses client-centered techniques to keep the work focused on the person's priorities. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused methods are used when people want targeted changes or short-term direction. This mix aims to balance long-term exploration with concrete action.
People often come with concerns about merging households, step-parenting roles, co-parenting tensions, or loyalty conflicts in blended families. Rachel helps individuals name patterns, experiment with new responses, and set manageable goals for daily life.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Rachel helps people plan next steps, try new behaviors, and track what works. She asks clear questions and follows the person's lead while offering tools grounded in her clinical approaches.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps that align with those values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and following the individual's lead to shape sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to test methods and refine what helps most. She will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what fits the client's needs and preferences.
