Mrs Rachel Dorneanu (Butler)

Therapist / Counselor (Qualifying)

“I'm an individual and couples psychotherapist. I specialize in adulting, anxiety, perfectionism and premarital counseling.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space for individuals and couples navigating the complexities of modern life. Perhaps you're grappling with the challenges of 'adulting,' feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, or striving for unattainable perfection. We can explore these patterns together. I also guide couples preparing for marriage, helping you build strong foundations for a shared future. My aim is to help you find clarity and develop practical tools for lasting well-being.

Approach

Sessions typically feel steady and practical: we map the small, everyday choices that compound into overwhelm and then try out manageable shifts together. In my Atlanta office and in English via secure online sessions, I use short experiments, focused reflections and gentle skill-building between meetings so momentum carries into real life. I tend to move at a paced, collaborative rhythm—sometimes structured and solution-focused, sometimes reflective—to make progress tolerable and real. People juggling transitions, pressure or relationship questions often find this approach helpful.
