About Rachel
Rachel Murray is an Ohio LISW with 10 years of clinical experience supporting people through intense life changes. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Rachel helps people sort through what they are feeling and why. She uses clear conversation and practical steps to address difficult emotions. Sessions often include looking at how relationships and expectations affect daily life.
When faith matters to a client, she integrates Christian perspectives into sessions at the person's request. She also focuses on building better communication and relational skills so people can navigate conflict and change more easily.
Rachel works with parents who are worn down or overwhelmed, and with people facing major transitions such as separation or new parenthood. She pays attention to the ways guilt and shame show up and how those feelings influence choices and relationships.
Her style is straightforward and relational. Clients can expect someone who listens, asks direct questions, and suggests small practices to try between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment through the online options.
How evidence-based approaches guide online sessions
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety and shame, using clear exercises and small behavioral steps to test new ways of responding. Another method centers on strengthening attachment and communication skills by practicing how to express needs and set boundaries in real-world situations, which can reduce conflict and increase trust.Finding the best approach is collaborative. She discusses options with each client and adjusts methods to fit the person's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. Clients help set priorities so sessions address what matters most to them.
