About Rachael
Rachael Sholar is a licensed clinical social worker in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care concerns, postpartum struggles, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and seasonal mood shifts. Rachael aims to meet people where they are and take the first step alongside them.
She brings a warm, down-to-earth style to sessions. Rachael shows up as a real person and uses everyday conversation, gentle humor, and steady presence to help people feel understood. She emphasizes practical strategies that can be used between sessions rather than abstract theories.
Rachael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. She also applies Motivational Interviewing when people need help finding their own motivation to make changes. Both approaches focus on short-term, doable steps that fit daily life.
When faith matters to a client, Rachael is open to integrating a Christian perspective into the work. She works at a pace chosen by the client and prefers to build goals together rather than imposing a plan. Sessions tend to focus on problem solving, skill practice, and straightforward feedback.
She has four years of clinical experience as an LCSW and works with adults who want clear tools and compassionate support. People who reach out begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s calendar.
How Rachael’s approaches guide online therapy
Rachael commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT focuses on small, practical changes like testing unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and routine.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who are ambivalent about change. This method centers on the person’s own reasons for change, using questions and reflection to build motivation and commitment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and techniques based on what the client needs and what feels realistic for daily life.
