About Rachel

Rachel Anauo is a licensed mental health counselor based in New York. She works with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, addiction, or major life changes. Her style is warm and direct, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more in control of daily life.

She blends practical methods with conversations that help people make sense of their stories. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindfulness skills, or identifying steps to change behavior.

Background and approach

Sessions are focused and goal-oriented while still allowing space to process emotions. Rachel has 15 years of clinical experience as an LMHC. She draws on approaches such as Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused methods to tailor care to each person.

She explains techniques plainly and checks in to make sure they feel helpful. Common concerns she addresses include depression, low self-esteem, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and substance use challenges. She also helps with issues tied to family of origin, caregiving stress, infidelity, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

People who meet with her can expect a steady, collaborative process that balances short-term goals with deeper meaning work. Her aim is to help clients build coping skills, reconnect with personal values, and move toward clearer choices in life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Rachel directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

Approach-driven online care that fits your life

Rachel uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of their life stories and reframe the patterns that keep them stuck. This approach focuses on the meanings people give events and looks for alternate stories that open up choices and hope.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete tools to shift unhelpful thinking and build new habits that reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy is included as well, with simple attention and body-awareness practices to manage stress and increase emotional balance.

Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to test approaches, adjust techniques, and set goals that match their needs and values. She checks in regularly to make sure the plan is useful and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier when on the go. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when people prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
