Hello! My name is Rachel Qihao Rao, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A), supervised by Leigh Rainwater, LPC-S. I have clinical experience working with children, teenagers, adults, and couples dealing with Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and other symptoms. From a humanistic counseling perspective, these can often manifest as various challenging life situations, including: •Life-changing events •Daily stress •Identity issues •Relationship problems. I understand these challenges can create imbalances in your life, and I am here to collaborate with you to tailor a treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals.
In 2020, I embarked on a journey of spiritual awakening, leading me to make a significant career shift from my successful seven-year career as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) to the counseling field. I am trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Informed care.
As a therapist, I specialize in the following areas: • Increasing self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-esteem • Managing school, work, and multiple life roles • Resolving marital, family, and parenting conflicts • Developing coping strategies and interpersonal skills. Thank you for considering me as your counselor in your healing and self-discovery.
