01About Rachel
Rachel Balderrama del Hierro welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can name what feels hardest. Sessions are meant to help people discover practical tools and make steady progress toward clearer days.
Rachel is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with six years of clinical experience. She has worked in schools, Child and Protective Services, outpatient clinics, and independent practice.
Background and approach
That range gives her experience with developmental differences, neurodivergence, feeding and eating disorders, and sensory processing concerns. Her approach looks at the whole person and the systems around them. That means she pays attention to relationships, family patterns, and daily routines that shape feelings and behavior.
Therapy blends talk, problem-solving, and skill-building so clients can try things between sessions and notice what helps. Sessions aim to be collaborative. Rachel offers parent coaching as well as individual work, and she focuses on creating space to feel, reflect, and practice new ways of coping.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, solution-focused ideas, and trauma-focused perspectives when they fit the client's goals. People who want a practical, steady partner through difficult seasons may find her style helpful. She works from Colorado and offers services in English.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel heard and understood. Online sessions using this approach focus on building a supportive space where people can talk through feelings and identify personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by giving clear tools to practice between appointments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow follow-up or shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue care when schedules or location change, while maintaining the same therapeutic focus on skills, relationships, and practical steps toward feeling better.
