Rachel DiPippo

Rachel DiPippo is a licensed mental health counselor with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, eating and food-related issues, substance use, grief, and changes in life circumstances. Rachel offers steady, practical support and works together with each person to set clear goals.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. Treatment plans are shaped around the person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings and on understanding triggers that fuel unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Rachel draws on several clinical methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy. She adapts these approaches to the issue at hand, whether that is coping with trauma, improving self-esteem, addressing eating concerns, or managing mood swings.

In sessions she encourages exploration of the thoughts and feelings behind difficult behavior. She also works on concrete strategies like changing unhelpful thinking, building awareness, and practicing new ways to respond to stress. The goal is steady progress and practical tools that make everyday life feel more manageable.

Rachel practices in Rhode Island as an LMHC, and she conducts therapy in English. Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

The therapist uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting space where the person's own goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the client identify what matters most.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for anxiety, low mood, and eating-related patterns that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend or blend methods that fit. Together they check in and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use online work to teach skills, review progress, and support practical changes that carry over into everyday life.
