Rachel DeVitaLCMHC, LMHC

Rachel DeVita is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth challenges. She brings a calm, empathetic presence and focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life easier. Rachel works with people who are coping with trauma, substance use, anger, ADHD, and relationship or workplace strains.

Her style is warm and supportive. Sessions center on listening first, then building clear goals together. Rachel draws on person-centered care to create a compassionate space, while using tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to address specific patterns and problems.

Rachel has 13 years of experience in community and residential settings and practices in New Hampshire. She has worked with people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and with people navigating parenting difficulties and life transitions.

In sessions she mixes brief skill teaching with reflective conversation. That might look like noticing thoughts that fuel anxiety, practicing a grounding or mindfulness technique, and then trying small behavior changes between meetings. She collaborates on a plan that fits each person’s needs and pace.

Her work emphasizes self-awareness, self-care, and building practical coping strategies. Rachel uses solution-focused steps to track progress and adjust goals. Many people find this combination helpful when dealing with panic, grief, compassion fatigue, or the stress of major life changes.

How Rachel’s approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what matters most, and helps you clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with the person to choose methods that match the issue, goals, and comfort level. That collaboration might mean starting with simpler skills, then adding mindfulness or CBT techniques as needed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. In general, online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports doing hands-on practice between sessions, such as using short breathing or mindfulness exercises, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and testing new communication skills in daily life.
