Rachel Knuehl, LPCC

Rachel Knuehl is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting children, teens, and caregivers who are navigating challenging emotional and relational issues, offering care that blends compassion with evidence-based methods.

Her practice addresses depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions while attending to attachment concerns, communication difficulties, mood disorders, and posttraumatic stress. Rachel is certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), training that informs her work with families and young people who need both behavioral tools and trauma-sensitive interventions.

Rachel pays particular attention to caregiver stress, pregnancy-related adjustments, and the identity changes that can accompany major life events. She draws on comprehensive clinical training to tailor strategies for challenges such as guilt, shame, and low self-esteem, and she helps clients build practical coping skills and stronger relational connections.

Across her practice, Rachel emphasizes individualized treatment plans that respect each person’s strengths and circumstances. Her aim is to empower clients to understand their responses, develop resilience, and foster meaningful personal growth through collaborative, skill-based therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Care

Rachel Knuehl uses established, practical therapies that translate well to remote formats. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is a coaching-oriented approach that helps caregivers and young children improve their relationship and manage disruptive behaviors through live coaching of positive interaction skills. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured approach for children, teens, and their caregivers that combines trauma processing with skill-building to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each family or individual to identify which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the plan stays personalized and responsive.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and daily routines. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support, involve caregivers when helpful, and maintain momentum between sessions, all while providing flexible access from different locations.
