Rachael Izquierdo, LMFT

Rachael Izquierdo is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and an LMFT Qualified Supervisor with more than 26 years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. She blends clinical training with a trauma-informed yoga background to support clients facing anxiety, depression, attention challenges, and a range of behavioral and interpersonal concerns. Rachael focuses on family life, health and wellness, adolescent struggles, parenting skills, and improving communication within the home, using approaches that honor each person’s unique situation.

Her practice emphasizes practical strategies for coping with life changes, strengthening relationships, and addressing issues such as addiction, trauma, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns. Rachael also brings specialized attention to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, body image, and the transition to young adulthood. As a Qualified Supervisor she provides guidance to other clinicians while maintaining a client-centered approach in her direct work.

Outside of her clinical role she values a strong work-life balance and spends free time practicing yoga, cooking, listening to music, and enjoying moments with her husband, children, and two dogs. Prospective clients are invited to reach out to see if Rachael is a good fit to work together.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Rachael integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the work - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding, improving communication, and strengthening relationships. CBT offers practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan over time, combining techniques as needed to address relationship concerns, parenting challenges, trauma-related symptoms, or life transitions.

Online therapy with Rachael is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care from different locations within Florida, and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining consistent support.
