About Rachel
Rachel Fan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in California. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people exploring life purpose.
Rachel draws on her faith as part of the work and integrates a biblical Christian worldview into sessions when clients want that perspective. Rachel uses conversations, questions, prayer, and Scripture to help people notice patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to uncover the roots of distress and find ways forward that fit each person’s values and beliefs. The tone is warm and straightforward, with attention to both practical steps and spiritual reflection. With four years of clinical social work experience and nearly a decade of broader professional exposure, Rachel blends professional skills with faith-informed care.
She explains ideas plainly and helps clients set small, doable goals between meetings. For some people that means clearer routines, for others it means strengthening spiritual practices alongside coping skills. Rachel offers sessions that include talking through current difficulties, applying biblical teachings as relevant, and using prayer when clients wish to include it.
The goal is lasting change that aligns with the client’s life and convictions. She invites people who want therapy that engages both mental health and faith to reach out. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
Rachel provides care in English for adults located in California.
Approaches you might use in online sessions
Rachel incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a biblical Christian perspective when clients want faith involved. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through structured conversation and practical exercises; this can help with anxiety, low mood, and daily stress. Another approach centers on values and purpose work, helping people clarify what matters most and set small steps toward a more meaningful routine and goals.Finding the right method is part of the work together. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and spiritual values and then suggest a path to try. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress and needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, between-session support, or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations within California.
