Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to stop by. It takes courage to seek guidance towards achieving a healthier more balanced life no matter the challenges you face. My name is Dr. Rachael Baker. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the Sunshine state, Florida. I earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2009 from Capella University, and a PhD in Counseling Studies in 2014 from Capella University. I have been practicing for 12 years in both private practice and agency settings. I have had the opportunity to work with various types of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting, mood disorders, and trauma.
As a therapist, my treatment approach encompasses active listening and empathy. I practice an inclusive perspective, making sure to consider the unique needs of each client, and include personal experiences and presenting struggles that might help you to identify areas of change in your life. The holistic and integrative approach I use includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I believe it's imperative to be respectful and sensitive to everyone's needs, while remaining encouraging and supportive. Together, we will find the best approach to help you begin making changes towards a better life!
You have already taken the first step towards making change and achieving a more fulfilling and happier life. I hope to have the opportunity to support you in this journey and help you to accomplish your goals.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
