About Rachel Sirek

Rachel Sirek is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults seeking clearer understanding of their emotions, relationships, and long-standing patterns, with particular attention to neurodivergent experiences. She frames neurodivergence as natural variation in how brains work, including examples such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, sensory processing differences, and learning disabilities, and emphasizes approaches that reduce self-criticism while identifying strategies that fit how someone actually operates. Rachel holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - which is a state credential to practice therapy in Colorado.

She frequently supports people navigating anxiety, challenges with emotional regulation, low self-esteem, and the sense of being stuck in repetitive patterns. Rachel has a strong interest in working with individuals with ADHD who want to better understand executive functioning, emotional responses, and identity. Her clinical background spans outpatient and crisis settings, where she developed a practice rooted in compassion and curiosity.

Rachel uses a collaborative and flexible approach, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and systems theory while adapting methods to honor neurodiverse perspectives. She aims to create a therapeutic space that feels affirming, human, and tailored to each person’s unique brain and story.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rachel Sirek draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness-informed practices to support people in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve problem solving. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of internal experience, offering tools for stress reduction and clearer decision making.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachel works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates strategies that honor neurodivergent ways of processing and helps clients decide what fits best rather than prescribing a single path.

Online therapy with Rachel is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter interactions are possible through live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
