More about Rachel
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a professional counselor, licensed in the state of Idaho and has been in the mental health field for the past 10 years, starting as a community based specialist, working my way up to counselor. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with an emphasis in trauma in 2019. I was hired as a addiction counselor for an outpatient program right after I got my license and found I am passionate to help people into recovery. My style is casual and welcoming with the ability to help my clients feel comfortable with therapy. I am a natural with cognitive behavioral therapy, and I include other techniques such as mindfulness, acceptance theory, solution focused, person centered, and motivational interviewing.
I was transplanted into the Northwest as a young girl in a small community in Eastren Oregon. The closest big city to us was Boise Idaho. After I graduated with my bachlor degree form Eastren Oregon University, I decided to settle in Nampa Idaho in 2012. Summer of 2023 I decided to relocate to West Virginia but I continue to work with the people of Idaho through BetterHelp. I do my best to stay informed in what is happening in the state because of my clients as well as the fact that I also have people I care about personally still there.
I am a mother of two boys that have mental health diagnosis and there are many people in my life that struggle with mental health. It is through my personal experiences and relationships that has helped me to develop my approach to therapy. It begins with acceptance of the individual and their personal beliefs and backgrounds that make them who they are. Through compassion, and empathy, I strive to go at the speed and pace of my clients, to help them achieve their personal goals.
Making the choice to seek therapy is not easy. Together, we can develop a plan that targets your desired outcome. I am here to help you on your journey to become a better you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Amazing
Rachel is fantastic
Amazing experience!
Attentive to issues that arise big or small. Has helped guide me through previous and current life experiences. She has a good grasp on how the brain can manifest things that are both rational and or irrational. Highly recommend.
Rachel is a great mix of knowledgeable and understanding. She hears me and respects me, but she also knows when to joke with me and when to get serious with me. She makes therapy feel like talking to a friend. Thank you, Rachel!
She listens and responds well. Seems like she cares about helping people and helping them understand how or why things are. Gives words of affirmation and steers in the right direction. I am very pleased.
Rachel is the betterhelp therapist I had been looking for. She helped me work through my concerns, find a path for healing, and helped me have the tools to recognize when my behavior is leading me down the wrong path. Rachel doesn't push worksheets and focuses on understanding you as a person.
Rachel has been kind patient and understanding with my issues. She has always went a step above to help me get through problems even if it's not a scheduled session. 100 percent recommend her to anyone I know!
She’s really helped me realize a lot of things that I never would’ve considered on my own. I’m so grateful that she not only listens to me but she shows me another side to the situation. She has helped me tremendously with understanding my own emotions. I can’t thank her enough.
I had a wonderful first session with Rachel Thornburg. I can't wait to meet with her again next week!
Rachel is knowledgeable and understanding. I am so thankful that I have found her as a therapist. We connected immediately. She has given me support and shown care for my needs.
I love her. I only have met her once. She is very understanding, professional,makes a lot of sense, wish I could call her every day. She made me feel secure, easy to communicate with. Thank you so much.
Rachel is amazing! She hit the nail on the head during our first 2 sessions! I’m looking forward to continuing to work through my other issues with her.
She has a lot of great information and finds ways to help boost you back up and gain confidence in yourself again. She’s a sweetheart and just a all around wonderful person to have help through hard issues!
Rachel is great. She gave me lots of tools to help me identify feelings & work through situations.
Rachel is attentive, listens well, and is down to earth. She finds ways to communicate well, support individual situations, and definitely is routine in her approach and support.
