About
As a queer non-binary person, I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and valued.
I am Rachel Robinson, a Licensed Independent Social Worker–Clinical Practice with 3 years of experience. I specialize in crisis intervention, LGBTQIA2S-affirming care, and medical social work. I support teens and adults navigating emotional regulation, mood disruption, stress, and life transitions. I teach coping skills, boundary setting, and mindfulness so you can feel steadier and more in control.
I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of South Carolina in Columbia. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, drawing on dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and strengths-based care to build practical skills that reduce distress and strengthen relationships.
As a queer woman living in the South, I understand how vital an affirming, judgment-free space can be. If you are ready to learn new ways to manage emotions, set healthy boundaries, and lower stress, I would be honored to partner with you. Reach out to schedule a first session—we will start where you are and move at your pace.

Thriveworks offers Stress management therapy, a type of therapy that helps people learn how to effectively manage and release their stress through the use of relaxation techniques, time-management practices, and mindfulness, among others. Relieving stress can greatly improve an individual’s mental health, as stress can detrimentally affect one’s emotional and physical well-being.
Stress management therapy functions by identifying the source(s) of stress and the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that are tied to it, then addressing them and creating healthy strategies for dealing with stress on a long-term basis. Additionally, Stress management therapy also helps people discover what warning signs they have that can let them know that they are stressed so that they can be more proactive in managing it.
The effectiveness of stress management therapy can vary from person to person, but some widely used and effective approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques.
Five stress management counseling strategies include:
Whether to seek therapy for stress depends on the severity and impact of the stress on your life. If stress is significantly affecting your well-being, relationships, or daily functioning, therapy can be a helpful option to learn coping strategies and gain support. It’s important to assess your own needs and consult a mental health professional for guidance on whether therapy is appropriate for your situation.
Yes, stress management counseling can help significantly reduce the amount of anxiety that you feel.
Stress management treatment at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
For those with low amounts of anxiety and stress and simple goals, stress management therapy can be fewer than 12 sessions. However, for those with intense anxiety and more severe symptoms, therapy will likely last longer in order to effectively treat their stress and mitigate their symptoms.
Everyone experiences stress – it’s normal; and while we often have the coping stills to manage that stress, we also find that we may not have the coping skills we need to manage certain stressors. Maybe this feels like your situation. If so, you’re not alone. Many people are struggling with new challenges, thoughts, and fears – but you don’t have to go through this alone. Thriveworks Greenville online counselors can help! (864) 952-4048
Stress occurs when we are faced with persistent challenges, particularly ones where the choices are difficult – possibly not even ours to make. Stress keeps us alert, hyper-focused on a thought, task, or outcome. When experiencing stressful situations, our senses are heightened, creating the “fight or flight” response. Some stress is fine. It can wake us up and make us more aware. Too much stress can create serious emotional and physiological issues. If left untreated, stress can lead to:
Coping skills, sometimes referred to as “coping mechanisms,” are tools that people use when faced with challenges that create stress in their lives. These tools aren’t limited to dealing with stress either. Coping skills are commonly used for managing depression, phobias, trauma, or any type of painful emotion, feeling, or memory. Coping skills are simply strategies for processing your feelings. They provide the opportunity to differentiate between irrational and rational beliefs, giving you the ability to make appropriate adjustments to your thoughts and behaviors. Simply put – coping skills are problem-solving tools to help you successfully manage stressful situations.
It’s important to take care of yourself – mind, body, and spirit. During periods of increased stress, people who take care of themselves find that they’re better prepared to face new challenges and overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This is where Thriveworks Greenville Online Counseling can help.
