Rachael Stickle, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in patterns of self-doubt, or weighed down by depression can make it difficult to fully engage in life. You may find yourself overthinking, expecting the worst, avoiding situations that feel uncomfortable, or being your own harshest critic. No matter how hard you try, it can feel like you keep ending up in the same cycle. Therapy can help you understand what's keeping you stuck and learn new ways to move forward.

​

I hold an M.S./Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a B.S. in Psychology, both from Florida State University, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology at Florida State University. 

​

My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we'll explore patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, low mood, or self-doubt and develop practical strategies to respond to challenges differently. We'll work on recognizing thoughts without automatically accepting them as facts, creating space from unhelpful patterns, and making choices that align with what matters most to you. My goal is to help you build greater self-awareness, confidence, and flexibility so that difficult thoughts and emotions no longer have to control your life.

​

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your authentic self. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, or simply feeling stuck, I am committed to helping you develop the tools and insight needed to create meaningful and lasting change.
