About Rachel
Rachel Krier is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through what feels overwhelming and start to make changes.
Background and approach
Rachel uses clear, practical steps so people can try things between sessions and notice real shifts over time. With eight years of professional experience, she draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, panic attacks, and life transitions.
She commonly helps people dealing with caregiver strain, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from infidelity or divorce. Sessions also address concerns like guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, and questions about life purpose and money.
Rachel approaches therapy in a straightforward, supportive way. Conversations focus on identifying patterns that keep problems stuck, building skills for coping, and testing new behaviors in everyday life.
She encourages small, achievable steps and checks in on progress so people can see what helps. People who work with Rachel can expect a collaborative process.
She listens for what matters most, then tailors strategies to fit each person’s needs and pace. The goal is to leave therapy with clearer choices and tools for moving forward.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Rachel is licensed in Minnesota as an LMFT and works with adults seeking practical support for emotional and relationship challenges.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One approach helps people spot the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety and depression, then practices different responses to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and abusive experiences by pacing the work and teaching grounding and coping strategies to manage strong feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as needed. Decisions about techniques are collaborative so the plan suits your needs and pace.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls let you have a fuller conversation and see nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a simpler check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or practice new skills between sessions. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments.
