Rachel DiPippo, LMHC

Rachel DiPippo is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports those coping with trauma, grief, intimacy concerns, eating issues, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and major life changes. Rachel presents as calm and practical, focusing on clear goals and usable tools.

Rachel earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and has 22 years of experience in the field. She has worked in a variety of settings and has supported people through substance use issues, trauma histories, and interpersonal conflicts. Her clinical title is LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.

Her approach is collaborative. Rachel helps clients set goals together and chooses methods that match each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas to shape sessions.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She teaches practical skills people can use between sessions, like managing strong emotions or changing unhelpful thoughts. She also works on communication and relationship habits when those are getting in the way.

Rachel aims to be encouraging and nonjudgmental. She frames therapy as a shared process and helps people discover steps to move toward the life they want. Her style is supportive, down-to-earth, and focused on real change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice new skills that reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. CBT sessions often include concrete exercises and homework that translate well to online formats. Client-Centered Therapy is another thread in her work, focusing on understanding each person's experience and building a trusting therapeutic relationship through acceptance and active listening. Mindfulness Therapy rounds out her main methods by teaching simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on goals, preferences, and how someone responds to treatment. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and shifting the plan when needed so the work stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction for skill teaching and role-play, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
