About Rachel

Rachel Van Dyk is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with 12 years of clinical experience. She begins by listening carefully to what brings someone to therapy and then works with them to decide practical next steps. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people handle hard moments and rebuild a sense of hope.

Rachel earned a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Professional Counseling from Liberty University.

Background and approach

Early in her career she spent five years supporting college students through academic and life stressors. She later practiced in personal settings and provided telehealth sessions, building more than 3,000 face-to-face clinical hours. She focuses on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, self-esteem, eating issues, intimacy-related concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Attachment issues are an additional area of focus in her work. Rachel helps people notice patterns shaped by past relationships and how those patterns affect current thoughts and feelings. In sessions she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Narrative Therapy alongside other practical tools.

She checks how a person’s history influences their emotions and behavior, then practices new ways of responding. The goal is clearer self-understanding and more workable habits for daily life. Rachel aims to help clients make decisions that lead to a more hopeful future.

She supports people in building skills to carry the work forward after therapy ends.

Online support

How attachment and emotion-focused work translates online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional patterns; online sessions help identify repeated ways of connecting and try out new responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on naming emotions and shifting unhelpful interaction cycles, which can be explored through guided conversations during video or phone sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories by retelling and reshaping those narratives in session.

Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Rachel will listen to a person's goals and preferences, explain different options, and try methods that feel most helpful. She checks in as therapy progresses and adjusts the plan based on what is working for the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life and maintain regular contact with a licensed professional.
