About Rachel
Dr. Rachel Radin uses motivational, mindful, and evidence-informed approaches to help people make workable changes in daily life. She is a California psychologist who focuses on anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Her language is straightforward and practical. She aims to help people reduce stress, manage difficult moods, and approach eating and body-image struggles with clearer choices.
She earned a Masters and a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Dr. Radin completed a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. These positions shaped her interest in health-related behavior and mindful approaches to eating and stress.
In clinical work she blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and client-centered methods. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach to help people find their own reasons for change. Sessions typically focus on concrete goals, skill practice, and small steps that add up over time.
She has particular experience supporting people with binge eating, stress-related eating, mood disorders, anxiety, and sleep problems. Dr. Radin also works with concerns tied to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and neurodevelopmental differences such as autism spectrum presentations.
Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented. She encourages clear steps, regular check-ins, and strategies that can be used between sessions. People who value practical tools alongside reflective conversation often find this style useful.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen motivation and set achievable next steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, mood, and chronic patterns like stress-related eating.
The right approach is often found together. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick or blend methods based on the person's goals, preferences, and what shows early progress. That means checking in about what helps, trying a few strategies, and adjusting the plan as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commuting time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people attend from quieter surroundings. It can also support continuity of care when schedules or locations change. Ask about available session lengths and how scheduling works when you complete the intake questionnaire. -
