About Rachel
Rachel Dock is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works with people facing depression, anxiety, and life changes. She brings a calm, warm, and nonjudgmental style to sessions. Her approach is practical and focused on what a person needs right now.
Rachel draws on 12 years of clinical experience across crisis and community settings in California. She spent four years as a Social Services Coordinator at a crisis stabilization unit, where she worked on risk assessment, crisis stabilization, and connecting people to community supports. She also has experience with foster youth and trauma-related work from an earlier agency role.
In sessions she uses Client-Centered therapy to follow the person’s lead and build a strong working relationship. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, manageable behavior changes. Narrative and mindfulness ideas appear in her work to help people make sense of their stories and find steadying practices.
Rachel often helps people who are dealing with addiction, relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and career challenges. She also supports coping with bipolar symptoms, ADHD concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Communication problems are a common focus in her meetings with clients.
