About Rachael
Rachael Izquierdo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is direct and calm, aimed at making change feel manageable day to day.
Rachael uses practical talk therapy and skills practice to address problems at home and in everyday life. She helps people sort through parenting challenges, communication problems, and issues connected to adoption and foster care.
Background and approach
She also supports those coping with attention concerns, impulse control, addictions, or changes like separation and divorce. Her approach blends client-centered listening with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy. She draws on emotionally focused methods when relationship patterns feel stuck, and she uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build self-awareness and new habits.
Sessions typically mix conversation with simple exercises to try between appointments. Rachael works with adults and young adults on topics such as intimacy, body image, self-esteem, and social anxiety. She also addresses trauma and abuse alongside care for eating and food-related concerns.
Her aim is to create practical steps clients can use right away. Outside of therapy she practices yoga, cooks, listens to music, and spends time with her husband, children, and two dogs. She is based in Florida and provides services in English as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful connection. Online sessions let a therapist reflect what matters most to a client and guide conversations toward clearer goals, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and replacing them with more helpful patterns. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related struggles because it breaks problems into small, actionable steps and practical homework.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and experiment with tools together, adjusting methods based on what helps most. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions remain focused and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing between sessions or want flexible, ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the same clinical approaches as in-person work.
