About Rachel
Rachel Krier is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with eight years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Rachel also addresses related problems such as caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of isolation.
She focuses on practical conversations that help clients name their concerns and try small changes. Sessions are straightforward and centered on what is happening now and what the client wants to work on next. Rachel encourages honest talk about guilt, shame, impulsivity, and money or career worries that can block progress.
Her background includes years of clinical practice in Minnesota and work with people facing breakup, divorce, infidelity, and the stress that follows big life transitions. She brings steady, organized support when clients are facing panic attacks or mood shifts and when they’re trying to rebuild after trauma.
In sessions she helps clients sort priorities and practice clearer communication. That can mean setting boundaries, working on forgiveness, or developing routines to manage anxiety and panic. Rachel also helps people who are questioning their life purpose to clarify values and next steps.
Sessions move at a realistic pace and focus on tools people can use between meetings. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment so Rachel can learn what matters most and plan an initial approach.
Approach in online sessions and practical benefits
Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize clear goals and practical skills. One common approach is brief, skills-focused work that teaches breathing and grounding strategies, coping tools for panic, and stepwise plans to reduce anxious behaviors. This helps when symptoms are urgent or when a client needs tools to manage daily stress.Another approach focuses on communication and relationship skills. That involves identifying interaction patterns, practicing new responses, and setting boundaries to change how people relate to each other. It can help with conflict, codependency, and recovering trust after separation or infidelity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together and adjust techniques over time. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and when to shift focus.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also let people use video or phone in ways that match their comfort and daily schedule rather than requiring a long in-person visit.
