About Rachel

Rachel Hayes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who brings a breadth of experience across clinical settings to her work. She is licensed in Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, and Arizona and offers therapeutic approaches that include EMDR and brainspotting when appropriate. Over the course of more than a decade in the helping professions and seven years specifically practicing as a counselor, she has supported people at every stage of life in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

Rachel has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, substance misuse, codependency, parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, and experiences of physical trauma and abuse. Her training includes approaches such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), EMDR, brainspotting, and solution-focused techniques, along with adjunctive methods like aromatherapy and PIT in some cases.

Her style is engaging and interactive, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She integrates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychoeducational elements and will tailor EMDR or brainspotting into a treatment plan when clinically indicated. Rachel works collaboratively with each client to shape dialogue and goals to address individual needs. She welcomes clients who are ready to take steps toward greater wellbeing and offers support to help empower lasting change.

Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Rachel Hayes draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR in her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps clients explore their own goals and values - it is useful for building self-esteem, navigating life changes, and improving relationships. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR is a structured approach often used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact, which can be especially helpful for people with PTSD or histories of abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so care remains responsive and personalized.

Online therapy with Rachel can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live far from in-person services. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access licensed professionals from different locations, and fit therapy into everyday life without sacrificing therapeutic depth.
