Rachael Hudson

Are you experiencing increased levels of sadness, anxiety, or fear? Do you find yourself in a situation that you feel is beyond your control? Have these uncomfortable feelings become present recently or have they been around for longer than you wish? My name is Rachael Hudson. I have worked as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for those residing in South Carolina since 2015. I am also Board Certified through the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I consider it an honor to sit with individuals as we discover healthy ways to heal that uniquely fit individuals. As a counselor, I have experience working with clients who have a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, as well as situational hardships and beyond. My counseling style is warm and empathetic. I often find myself using Person-Centered, Solution Focused, and Motivational Interviewing approaches in the initial stages of counseling. I find it beneficial to first discuss current concerns and then the different ways you have tried to resolve these concerns in the past. From there we are best able to find alternative approaches to address your current situation. Facts from your past can often shed unexpected light on discovering realistic solutions in current hardships. Repeatedly, I have found the Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approach to be of assistance to clients, yet I am very comfortable pulling from numerous therapeutic approaches to best match my client’s needs. We will address plans and the progress toward your goals in every session. Please discuss your comfort with the approaches I introduce to ensure quicker success. My main goal is to join with you to discover new and effective approaches to reduce your discomfort. Verbal communication during sessions often leads to discovering resolutions in a shorter time frame than communicating via text only. For that reason, our official meetings will be held via PHONE or VIDEO. I want you to feel as comfortable as possible beginning this process of counseling. Please reach out to me with any questions via the message system as we begin your journey to healing.
