About Rachel
Rachel Lackovic is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with sixteen years in social work. She practices from Pennsylvania and helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and other life challenges. Rachel focuses on practical steps people can use each day to feel better.
Rachel prefers a person-centered style. She treats each person as the expert on their life and listens first. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change small behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to keep work concrete and goal oriented. In sessions she helps people set clear, achievable goals. Conversations often include simple tools to manage strong feelings, ways to adjust daily routines, and steps to improve communication.
Rachel also supports people facing big life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and problems tied to family of origin. Her background includes work in individual, group, and relationship-focused settings over many years. That variety informs how she matches strategies to each person’s needs.
Rachel describes therapy as a collaborative journey where the client chooses the direction and she helps navigate options. Practicality and kindness shape her approach. Sessions aim to be direct but respectful, with homework or short exercises when useful.
People looking for steady, down-to-earth support for anxiety, anger, depression, or coping with change may find her way of working helpful.

Approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs respect, empathy, and a therapist who follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, adjusting plans as progress or new needs appear. The process is shared and flexible rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions offer practical benefits for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing nonverbal cues matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during brief breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework review, or when shorter, written exchanges work better. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice strategies between sessions.
