Dr. Rachel Radin, CA Psychologist 30403

Dr. Rachel Radin is a clinical health psychologist based in California. She holds a PhD in Clinical and Medical Psychology and has eight years of experience helping adults who struggle with anxiety, mood, and eating concerns. Rachel focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier in daily life.

She trained at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and completed a pre-doctoral internship in pediatric psychology at Mount Washington Pediatric Hospital. Rachel also completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco. Her training included work across the DC/Metro area and at UCSF, where she developed brief interventions for stress-related eating.

In session she draws on several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment methods, dialectical behavior skills, and client-centered conversation. She often blends these tools to help people manage anxiety, depression, and disordered eating patterns. Sessions emphasize clear strategies and small behavior changes that can fit into a busy life.

Rachel has particular experience with weight-related eating concerns such as binge eating and stress-related eating. Her background also includes work related to health conditions, diabetes and obesity management, and developmental issues encountered during her pediatric internship. She brings this experience to adults facing similar challenges.

People who work with her can expect goal-focused dialogue, gentle skill building, and attention to everyday routines like sleep, eating, and stress management. To start, she asks about what matters most to you and then shapes a plan that fits your needs and schedule.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns, often used for anxiety, depression, and eating concerns. Mindfulness-based methods train simple attention and self-awareness skills to reduce reactivity and help with stress-related eating and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together you can try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps you most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can make practicing skills between meetings more direct, since discussions often link closely to real-life moments and daily routines.
