Rachel Palmore, LPC

Rachel Palmore is an Alabama Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, parenting concerns, career transitions, bipolar disorder, and trauma and abuse.

She uses straightforward conversation and reflection to help clients notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding feelings. Rachel encourages trying new approaches that can change day-to-day life rather than only talking about problems.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also brings cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments. Emotionally-focused elements are used to name and work with the emotional experiences behind relationship and intimacy concerns.

Rachel includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools when they fit a person’s goals. These methods help with managing strong emotions like anger, reducing reactivity, and building clearer communication. She frames change as a set of doable actions rather than a vague promise.

Her background includes many years serving adults in Alabama and working with people affected by adoption and foster care, multicultural stress, prejudice and discrimination, seasonal affective disorder, women’s issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She aims for practical, steady work on the problems people bring into sessions.
