About Rachel
Rachel Wilson-Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, parenting stresses, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to neurodiversity and disability. Rachel also works with career shifts, self-esteem issues, and the impact of major life changes.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered approaches. Sessions often focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts, trying new responses, and building practical skills. Rachel emphasizes clear, step-by-step strategies like goal-setting, time management, and problem solving to make progress feel manageable.
Her background includes work with developmental and special-needs issues, supporting adults on the autism spectrum, and addressing caregiving strain. She draws on experience helping people cope after traumatic events, brain injury, or loss. That experience informs how she helps people plan next steps and adjust daily routines.
In sessions she works to strengthen relationship and parenting skills, address patterns of abandonment or attachment difficulty, and tackle anger, guilt, or shame. She also assists with executive functioning, organizing day-to-day tasks, and building consistent habits that support life goals.
Rachel blends motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques with practical coaching. Clients will find a straightforward focus on what to try next, small concrete steps to practice between meetings, and regular review of what is and isn’t working.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can be used to manage anxiety, depression, anger, and routines that interfere with daily life.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect current connections. That approach helps with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin patterns. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice as well and focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting a person’s own goals and choices.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will discuss options, try strategies, and adjust methods based on a client’s goals and preferences. She works with clients to choose specific skills or exercises to practice between sessions and checks progress together.
