About Rachel
Dr. Rachel Radin brings an approach rooted in mindfulness and practical skills to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. She is a California psychologist with eight years of clinical experience. Rachel aims to make therapy straightforward and usable in day-to-day life for adults facing these challenges.
She earned a Master of Science and a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Her training included a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. At UCSF she worked with mindfulness and motivational interviewing approaches to help people change health-related behaviors.
Her background includes work on weight-related eating concerns such as binge eating and stress-related eating. She has experience addressing diabetes management, obesity management, chronic health conditions, and developmental concerns from earlier clinical work. She also draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and interpersonal and psychodynamic methods developed during her training.
In sessions she uses concrete strategies alongside mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Therapy focuses on understandable steps people can use between appointments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Rachel combines exploration of values and goals with skill-building for mood, anxiety, and eating-related struggles.

How mindfulness and evidence-based methods work online
Mindfulness Therapy invites simple attention practices to help people notice thoughts, urges, and bodily sensations without immediately reacting. That can make it easier to spot patterns behind stress, anxiety, or stress-related eating and try small changes.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, even when difficult feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and eating-related behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean combining mindfulness practices with CBT or ACT-based exercises and adjusting the plan over time.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and permit shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist about how sessions can best fit into daily routines and which methods will be emphasized.
