About Rachel

Rachel Van Dyk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with twelve years of experience helping people facing hard seasons. She began by supporting college students and later moved into independent practice and telehealth work. Rachel offers straightforward, compassionate care for common struggles like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain.

She uses approaches that pay attention to how past connections shape present feelings. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based and Narrative approaches to understand patterns.

Background and approach

Sessions often look at how early relational experiences affect current responses and relationship habits. Rachel spends time listening to each person's story and mapping how history shows up in emotions, thoughts, and behavior. From there she offers practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns.

These can include ways to change self-talk, manage intense feelings, and try new ways of relating to others. Her work tends to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She aims to help people make clearer decisions and move toward a more hopeful future.

Rachel has provided over 3,000 face-to-face clinical hours and blends methods to fit the situation. Sessions are available through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Rachel works in Tennessee and communicates in English.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step matches people to the right appointment rhythm.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings and how they shape relationships. It helps people name emotions and try new ways of responding to close others. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how those patterns appear now in emotion and behavior. It helps people notice triggers and build different interaction habits. Narrative Therapy separates the person from the problem by examining the stories they tell about themselves and their life, creating room to rewrite those stories.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift during therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing new interaction skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text messaging work well for short check-ins, processing between sessions, or connecting when a longer meeting isn’t possible. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
