About Rachel
Rachel DeVita is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in New Hampshire and holds an LMHC credential. She has 13 years of experience working with people who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the pressures of young adulthood. Rachel also supports clients dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, workplace issues, grief, ADHD, and substance use concerns.
Her background includes work in community and residential settings. She has provided gender-responsive care for women and has supported people after physical trauma and emotional abuse. Rachel brings practical, skills-focused methods to sessions rather than long theoretical talks.
She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more useful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools and Mindfulness practices provide ways to manage intense emotions and reduce overwhelm.
Rachel also draws from Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and notice small changes that add up. In practice she balances talking through concerns with learning concrete skills you can use between sessions. She adapts the pace to the client, focusing on steps that fit everyday responsibilities.
People who come to her often want help making practical changes - getting through a hard patch at work, steadying mood swings, coping after a loss, or finding clearer boundaries. The first meetings are about clarifying what the client wants to change and which skills will help most.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy is about following what matters to the client and building the conversation around their priorities. Online sessions can keep this focus by letting the client set the agenda and pace while the therapist listens and reflects.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Delivered online, CBT often uses worksheets, behavioral experiments, and short between-session tasks to practice new skills.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills can be reviewed and practiced during online meetings and reinforced with brief real-world exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and day-to-day life, and she will adjust as those needs change.
