Top virtual Idaho therapists who accept Premera Blue Cross

After many years of doing traditional therapy, I have come to realize that what people want out of therapy is to find solutions to their problems, not to be re-traumatized by a repeated telling of their hurts. Sometimes, we get in our own way and need help understanding what isn’t working for us. I believe this is true for individuals, couples and teens. Me? Lots of training and continuing education. My clients describe me as warm, funny, insightful, and patient. I love being a therapist; it's an honor.

I have been an independent clinician since 2013 and in private practice since 2017. I strive to provide clients with a safe, calm, open therapeutic environment. I believe we are all individuals and there is no one size fits all approach. Therefore, I tailor therapeutic treatments to the need and the goals of my clients. I am painfully aware that some of life’s transitions can be difficult to cope with: be it a loss of a loved one, a new illness, a chronic illness, a disability, depression or just everyday life. Whatever the case may be, we all need help and somebody to talk to during our life’s journey. Some of the conditions I treat include chronic illnesses, disabilities, mental illness, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, grief and loss. I specialize in working with families who may have a member that is disabled as well as family situations. I am here to help you improve your journey through life. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children.

I’m Rachel Thornburg, a genuine person facing my own challenges, just like my clients, which is why I adopt an informal style to help them feel comfortable. While I work efficiently, I guide clients with compassion and understanding. My greatest strength comes from the trauma I’ve experienced, enabling me to empathize deeply with their struggles. I devote a lot of my time to video games, proudly calling myself a gamer, even if I'm not the best. I love the great outdoors, dreaming of camping trips with fishing galore. I have a vocal music minor which means I enjoy music that tells stories and has beautiful harmonies where I am able to sing along. During my degree journey, I stumbled upon an incredible chance to work in an outpatient program with court-mandated clients facing addiction. This experience created a profound passion for helping individuals break free from addiction and embrace recovery. This experience has sharpened my ability to understand my clients' needs, explore their challenges, and customize their recovery paths, fostering hope for a brighter tomorrow. In my career, I've had the joy of supporting teens, adults, couples, and various groups. While I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I blend in other methods too. Lately, I've been exploring Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which shows great promise. Above all, I prioritize tuning into my clients' needs with empathy, creating space for both tears and laughter.

My specialty is treating clients suffering from depression and anxiety, I am passionate about helping those who suffer from varying mental health issues. I am fully aware of the impact that living with mental health issues can take on an individual’s life. I believe in helping patients regain control in their lives in order to live their best life. Depression comes in many shapes and sizes from severe to high functioning, all forms of depression can be treatable and I believe that by working together we can come up with a treatment plan to help you feel more like yourself again. Often depression and anxiety can go hand in hand, working with clients who have experienced feelings of both depression and anxiety we can determine appropriate coping skills to help manage both. I have also worked with clients who have experienced varying trauma, from childhood trauma including sexual abuse and domestic violence as well PTSD. We are seeing more and more individuals who experience varying level of trauma from bullying at school, or in the workplace, as well as spiritual trauma from religious experiences. I also specialize in treating those who have experienced a traumatic event in their lives using a trauma focused approach to help begin the process of healing. Open to working with children/adolescents 10 years and older.
