About Rachael

Rachael Lustfeldt, LCSW, CSW, helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those facing compassion fatigue, relationship and family concerns, and challenges with self-esteem. She practices with a practical, people-first approach and encourages clients to notice their own strengths.

Rachael sees each person as the expert on their own life story. She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult events and separate problems from identity.

Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to practice living with tough feelings while pursuing meaningful goals. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. Rachael aims for a warm, direct style that helps people make small changes that add up.

She works with adults on issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, grief, and feelings of isolation. Rachael holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and a CSW credential in Georgia. She brings 11 years of experience in clinical settings to her practice and keeps language plain and straightforward during sessions.

Therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How these approaches work online

Rachael often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell their story in different ways. That approach separates a person's problems from who they are and can make painful events feel more manageable. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward what matters to them.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Rachael discusses goals and preferences early on and adapts techniques to fit each person's needs. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client finds most useful.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules or health needs change.
