Rachel Marmor , LMHC, LCMHC

Rachel Marmor is a licensed mental health counselor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, and trauma. She is based in Florida and brings 12 years of experience to sessions. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental and aims to make people feel heard and understood quickly.

Rachel treats a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, bipolar symptoms, and coping with big life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and struggles with attention or impulsivity. Women's issues such as postpartum challenges and eating disorders are among her focus areas.

Her approach is individual-focused rather than one-size-fits-all. Rachel learns what matters to each person and builds a plan that includes short-term steps and longer-term goals. She uses practical tools drawn from evidence-based methods to help people change unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.

Sessions combine active listening with hands-on strategies like mindfulness exercises, behavior-focused techniques, and work on communication skills. She pays attention to the role of attachment, boundaries, and past losses when those things affect day-to-day life. The work is collaborative; clients and Rachel choose which techniques feel most useful.

People who want straightforward guidance for mood, substance use, relationship strain, or trauma-related reactions may find her approach helpful. Rachel offers sessions in English and works with people across state lines, including international clients when appropriate.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Rachel commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action even when feelings are difficult, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend methods to try. Clients and the therapist adjust pace and techniques as they see what feels most effective.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video gives a face-to-face feel for deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or practicing skills between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help people fit therapy into busy lives.
