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.
Navigating life’s crossroads
Do you find yourself questioning your career or your relationship? If so, you probably resonate with at least one of these…
You feel stuck, frustrated, or stressed, and you’re sick of losing sleep over this
You’re unfulfilled even though you have it all (from the outside)
You’re disappointed because this isn’t how you envisioned life
If you’re looking for someone who is louder than the voice of fear and doubt in order to make some changes - I got you. You hold the map, I just help you confidently read it.
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.
Here’s my promise to you:
What you see is what you get: there are no mind games or guess-work when working with me.
I am incredibly engaged in each and every session and if it needs to be said, it will be.
I believe that you can only move forward if you’re honest with where you are…so let’s start there.
Now is the perfect time to talk it out so you can get clear on what you want to do, who you want to be, and how you want to live.
It’s YOUR life.
Therapy Focus Areas
I work with individuals and couples in a virtual setting, especially helping with:
Relationship doubts
If you don’t fall into one of these categories, but you still resonate with my style, let’s still chat.

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.
Don’t just take my word for it
“Dr. Rachel is warm and approachable yet direct and straightforward. Her style of communication and no-nonsense personality are the perfect match for emerging young adults seeking support in navigating significant life transitions and challenges.”
You’ll love working together if you’re…
willing to explore what it might be like to think, feel, or behave in different ways, even if that means you aren’t actually ready to make a change
craving living more confidently and boldly (because that’s how I roll)
okay with being asked questions, given feedback, and exploring other perspectives
appreciative of a conversational, no-B.S. approach
interested in celebrating the small wins along the way
open to colorful language, including the occasional swear word
