About Rachel
Rachel Bentley is a licensed marriage and family therapist with eight years of professional practice. She holds an LMFT and works from Arizona. Rachel draws on relationship-focused perspectives to help people understand how early bonds shape present reactions and patterns.
She keeps sessions straightforward. Rachel helps people notice how past attachments affect stress, anxiety, relationships, and parenting. She pauses to identify existing strengths and coping skills and then practices new ways of responding that fit current life demands.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in group homes, schools, outpatient addiction services, and residential programs for adults with serious mental illness. Those roles exposed her to many life circumstances and common struggles like grief, substance issues, and family conflict. Rachel uses a mix of approaches including Attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused methods.
In therapy she will look at patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and try practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles. She is familiar with challenges such as abandonment, codependency, infidelity, and communication problems. Rachel also supports people facing major life changes, parenting strain, anger, and sleep or mood difficulties.
Outside of work she is involved in her children’s activities and has two decades of experience as a military spouse, which informs her understanding of the stresses families can face. Rachel aims to create a calm, steady environment where people can practice new ways of relating and coping.

Online support
Attachment and practical therapies online
Rachel commonly uses Attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior; this helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, and repeating patterns in relationships. She also uses Client-Centered therapy, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and goals while the therapist listens without judging. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete steps to change reactions and reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Together they test strategies and adjust the plan over time if something isn’t helping.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people read expressions and work in real time. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support, or the chance to send thoughts between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep steady progress.
