About Rachel

Rachel Krier is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Minnesota. She has eight years of professional experience and helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, depression, or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She creates a calm space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and begin to make practical changes.

She focuses on everyday struggles like relationship strain, major life changes, panic attacks, and problems with communication. She also addresses issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. Sessions are geared toward understanding what feels stuck and finding steps that fit each person’s life.

Rachel aims to help clients build stronger coping skills and clearer thinking about goals and values. She encourages honest conversation and small, achievable shifts rather than quick fixes. Over time she supports people in testing new ways of handling conflict, money worries, and impulses that get in the way of daily functioning.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration; clients set priorities and work at a pace that feels manageable. Rachel invites questions about the process and helps people weigh options for next steps. Her Minnesota licensure is listed as LMFT and she conducts sessions in English.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and coping skills. One approach emphasizes teaching clear coping strategies for anxiety and panic, such as breathing and grounding skills plus stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance. Another approach centers on relationship and communication work, helping people practice new ways to raise concerns, set boundaries, and respond differently in conflict.

Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about current struggles, goals, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adjust them as progress is made so the work stays relevant to daily life.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Many people find virtual sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and bring real-life problems directly into discussion, which supports applying new strategies where they matter most.
