About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship concerns, hoarding behaviors, and those who want help meeting personal goals.
Rachel uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. She relies primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. She also draws on client-centered work and mindfulness techniques to support awareness and decision making.
Her style emphasizes personal responsibility and clear, doable steps. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client sets goals and she offers tools and guidance. Sessions focus on small, concrete changes that can reduce stress and improve functioning.
Rachel has worked in individual, group, and couples settings during her career. She also facilitates Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) groups and uses that framework when it fits a person’s goals. Her background includes work across clinical settings, which she uses to help people navigate systems and get practical supports.
Typical work includes building skills to manage mood and anxiety, creating plans for grief and loss, addressing hoarding behaviors, and clarifying career or life-direction goals. She aims to help people make choices that move them toward the outcomes they want, using tools from CBT, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques.
People who want clear steps, concrete skills, and regular feedback may find this style helpful. Rachel encourages prospective clients to consider what goals they want to address and to start with a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness in practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered techniques emphasize listening and reflecting so the person directs goals and decision making. Mindfulness work teaches simple attention and relaxation practices to reduce reactivity.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts techniques as progress is tracked. The aim is to use straightforward tools that can be practiced between sessions and measured over time.
