About Rachel
Rachel Krier is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Rachel also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions often look like naming the problem, noticing patterns, and trying small changes to see what helps. Rachel pays attention to emotional reactions and everyday habits that keep problems stuck.
Clients bring many situations into sessions - a recent breakup, panic attacks, trouble setting boundaries, or burnout from caring for others. Rachel helps people untangle guilt, shame, and lost direction so they can make clearer choices. She also works with concerns like infidelity, forgiveness, money stress, and impulse control when those issues are present.
Her work with trauma and abuse focuses on stabilizing current life and reducing distressing symptoms before moving to deeper material. For relationship concerns she helps people improve communication and manage conflict in practical ways. For mood and anxiety symptoms she uses concrete strategies to reduce panic and steady mood swings.
Rachel offers therapy in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on reducing symptoms and improving daily functioning. One commonly used approach is structured cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Another common method emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, useful for panic, intense mood swings, and handling strong emotions after trauma.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, try approaches that match your goals, and adjust methods based on what helps. Treatment plans are practical and change as you progress so the work fits your needs and preferences.
