About Rachel
Rachel Palmore is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with nearly 20 years of experience. She aims to put people at ease right away and create a practical path forward for day-to-day life concerns. Her style blends warmth with clear, goal-focused work so clients feel heard and understood while making steady progress.
Rachel emphasizes reflecting feelings and building self-empowerment. She uses straightforward conversations and exercises to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions often include problem-solving steps and moments to practice different skills between meetings.
Her background includes long experience across a variety of settings, and she brings that perspective into each meeting. She pays attention to how culture and identity shape someone’s experience and lifts up those concerns when relevant. Adoption and foster care issues are listed among areas she focuses on when they come up in a client's life.
Rachel draws on several practical approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices. She invites curiosity and collaboration rather than relying on a single method. This means sessions are adjusted to match what each person needs and prefers.
People often come for help with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, career questions, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Rachel also addresses compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and seasonal affective concerns in conversations about recovery and resilience.
Approaches that guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions; it can be especially helpful for building confidence and self-direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in relationships and personal bonds. It helps people identify and shift interaction patterns that cause pain or disconnection, which can benefit intimacy and relationship concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options during booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt the approaches above for remote sessions to focus on skill practice, emotional exploration, and concrete problem-solving.
