About Rachel
Rachel DiPippo is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 22 years of clinical experience based in Rhode Island. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, communication problems, and career questions.
Rachel uses a collaborative style where goals are set together with each person. Sessions focus on identifying what drives unwanted thoughts and behaviors. She draws on practical methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and build everyday coping skills.
Her approach often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to notice thoughts, test unhelpful beliefs, and develop calmer responses. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative ideas to clarify values and reshape personal stories.
In sessions she helps people talk through relationship issues, manage anxiety or anger, and work on addictions or eating concerns. She pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment experiences can affect current relationships and self-esteem. Practical tools and brief skill-building are part of the work.
Rachel has experience across many settings over two decades and aims to support people who want clearer goals and usable strategies. To begin she asks people to describe current struggles and what they hope to change, then together they pick ways of working that fit the person and the issue.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says to help them feel understood and decide what matters most. It supports issues like relationship strain, low self-esteem, and grief by keeping the person’s goals central.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It helps people test unhelpful beliefs, try small behavior changes, and learn practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and impulses related to addiction.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase focus. It can be useful for stress, anger management, and staying present when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problem they want to address. Approaches can be mixed and adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking so you understand how meetings will take place. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about format details when you schedule the first appointment.
