Dr. Rachel DuPaul: Independent Counselor & Private Practice Therapist
Therapy for adults struggling with the stress, fear, and confusion of big life changes.
I help individuals gain clarity and make courageous choices using online therapy.
There’s more than one path, but which do you choose?
Maybe you’re:
Questioning your career and wondering if it’s truly the right fit
Unsure if this relationship is “the one” or if you’re just afraid to leave
Facing a big decision and paralyzed by the fear of making the wrong choice
You might be feeling:
Stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed
Exhausted from overthinking and losing sleep
Unfulfilled—even though, from the outside, you “have it all”
Disappointed because this isn’t how you thought life would turn out
You know it’s time for a change.
You can stick with the path you know…or you can follow that voice inside saying, “try something different”.
If you’re being totally honest with yourself, you’ve been searching for something more for a while, but you might not even know what “more” means. All you know is that you feel stuck, overwhelmed, frustrated, and stressed. The pressure to “choose right” is paralyzing.
You don’t have to stay stuck, though.
You CAN feel:
Clear and confident in the choices ahead
Energized by your life
Free to trust yourself and your direction
Powerful, alive, and free
If you’re looking for someone who is louder than the voice of fear and doubt in order to make some changes and move forward, you’re in the right place. I got you.
Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel.
I’m so glad you’re here. Working with a therapist can be daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. As a therapist, I am:
Authentic and Transparent
What you see is what you get: there are no mind games or guess-work when working with me.
Active and Direct
I am incredibly engaged in each and every session and if it needs to be said, it will be.
Stepping into something more or different is possible. Whether you know what that looks like or are just beginning to explore, now is the perfect time to talk it out.
I can help you get clear on who you want to be, how you want to live, and what you need to do to get there.
This is your journey. I’m just here to help you make decisions with clarity and confidence.
It’s YOUR life. Time to reclaim it.

My Process
01.
Schedule Your Free Consultation Call
Start by filling out the contact form using the button below. I’ll follow up via email with a link to my calendar so you can choose a time that works for you. During our 20-minute phone call, we’ll discuss your goals, I’ll ask a few background questions to assess fit, and you’ll have a chance to ask me anything you'd like about the therapy process.
02.
Begin with a Personalized First Session
If we’re a good fit, we’ll schedule your first full session. This session is all about gathering the information I need to understand your background, concerns, and goals. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that’s tailored to your needs and preferences, setting the foundation for our work together.
03.
Ongoing Sessions Focused on Your Goals
In follow-up sessions, we’ll begin working toward the goals we identified using the therapeutic approaches we agreed upon. I typically recommend weekly sessions at first to build momentum and recognize patterns, but I’ll always collaborate with you to find a rhythm that fits your life.
Still feeling unsure?
You’ll love working together if you…
feel so overwhelmed you don’t know where to start, be it in your career, your relationship, or some other major life transition
are invested in exploring what it might be like to think, feel, or behave in different ways
crave living more confidently and boldly
want to be asked questions, given feedback, and explore other perspectives
appreciative of a conversational, no-B.S. approach
open to colorful language, including the occasional swear word
You truly can feel a sense of calm confidence again. I’m here to help you.
Don’t just take my word for it
