About Rachel

Rachel Wilson-Snyder is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 23 years of experience. She offers a warm, collaborative style and helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and grief.

She pays particular attention to attachment and identity issues. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, anger, and bipolar disorder. Supporting adults with autism and their caregivers is important to her as a parent of a child on the spectrum.

Rachel helps people set and reach practical goals. That can mean improving relationship or parenting skills, managing time and organization, or building daily routines that match personal priorities. She also coaches on problem solving and conflict resolution so people can move forward with clearer steps.

Her work blends client-centered listening with cognitive approaches and attachment-aware methods. She uses motivational interviewing and other supportive techniques to help clients clarify values and find workable next steps. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to make that change happen.

Rachel has worked in many professional settings with a wide variety of people. She draws on that broad experience to tailor each session to the person in front of her. She aims to be a steady partner as clients work through difficult transitions and build a stronger sense of self.

How attachment and cognitive methods work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationships and emotional safety. Online sessions using this approach look at how early bonds affect current relationships and help people develop more secure ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills. In online sessions, CBT often includes homework, simple skill practice, and step-by-step problem solving for anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and continue support during life transitions. It also allows therapy to include practical goal-setting and routine-building directly into the client’s everyday life without promising a specific format.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
