About Rachael
Rachael Cutts is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 18 years of professional experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, body image, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and life changes.
Rachael works in a straightforward, practical way. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying different responses, and building useful daily routines. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods to keep work concrete and action oriented.
She treats motivation and confidence problems by setting small, achievable steps and checking progress each week. For relationship and communication problems she helps people clarify what they want and practice clearer ways of speaking and setting boundaries. When addiction or substance concerns are present the focus is on immediate coping strategies and gradual behavior changes.
Rachael also addresses stress from caregiving, chronic illness, or major life events by helping people prioritize, set limits, and find realistic ways to manage demands. For sleep or eating issues she works on daily habits and thoughts that get in the way of better routines.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve sleep. ACT emphasizes noticing values and committing to practical steps that line up with what matters to a person. Client-centered work prioritizes listening and helping people voice their goals so sessions stay focused on what matters to them.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work with each person to decide which approach or combination fits their goals and preferences. That decision is made together and can shift as progress is tracked over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Therapists can also adapt exercises and homework to a person’s daily routine so skills can be practiced between meetings.
