    About Rachel

    Rachel LaVergne is a licensed counselor in New Hampshire who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. She has 18 years of experience supporting people who feel isolated, overwhelmed by social anxiety, or burdened by guilt and shame. Rachel meets people where they are and helps them set small, practical goals to feel steadier day to day.

    She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice new ways of coping. Mindfulness practices are used to improve attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy are included when learning emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills is helpful.

  2. How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work

    Rachel uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change and to clarify what matters most to them; this approach is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. She also practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead so goals emerge from the person’s own priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of unhelpful thinking and to practice concrete behavioral changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which tools make sense based on their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as work progresses. The aim is to develop practical skills together rather than to impose a single method.
