Rachael Splinter MA, LPC (Wausau)

Rachael Splinter, MA, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor. She provides a warm, authentic, and collaborative space for adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, body image concerns, eating concerns, shame, relationship patterns, and life transitions. She believes that healing begins with understanding—understanding where our wounds came from, how our experiences have shaped us, and why we respond to ourselves and the world the way we do.

Rachael helps clients look beyond symptoms to explore the deeper roots of their struggles, including early attachment experiences, family dynamics, learned patterns, and the ways the brain and body respond to stress and past experiences. By developing a deeper understanding of themselves, clients can begin to build self-compassion, create new patterns, and move toward meaningful change.

Specialties & Focus Areas

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
• Trauma and trauma recovery
• Body image concerns and eating concerns
• Shame, self-worth, and perfectionism
• Adolescent and young adult women
• Family-of-origin wounds and difficult relationships
• Life transitions and identity development
• Christian counseling and faith-informed support

Education & Credentials

• Master of Arts in Counseling
• Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Experience & Approach

My style is warm, relational, and collaborative. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a powerful part of healing, and I want my clients to feel genuinely known, understood, and cared for. I bring authenticity, insight, and even humor into the therapy room while creating a space where clients can be both accepted and challenged.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), attachment-based approaches, and trauma-informed care. Together, we explore how your past experiences may have influenced your current thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships. We may examine patterns that developed as a way of coping, understand how your brain and body respond to stress, and identify new skills for creating healthier and more fulfilling ways of living.

For clients struggling with eating concerns and body image, I work to uncover the beliefs, experiences, and emotions that have shaped their relationship with food and their bodies. Rather than focusing only on changing behaviors, we explore the underlying needs, patterns, and messages that have contributed to those struggles.

I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and honesty. Healing is possible, but it often requires both understanding where we have been and intentionally practicing new ways of thinking, responding, and relating. I would be honored to support you as you move toward greater freedom, self-understanding, and a more authentic relationship with yourself.

His approach is rooted in a deep belief that mind-body therapies are a powerful tool for accessing, healing, and repairing deep emotional wounds – even those beyond words. His own life has been a colorful mix of meaningful moments and, admittedly, too many questionable decisions - each one resulting in healing, repairing, and growth, which has shaped his compassionate, non-judgmental, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. Drawing from a range of modalities, including Attachment Theory, Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, Person-Centered Counseling, Strength-Based Therapy, and Positive Psychology. Kurt customizes each treatment plan to support your unique needs and goals. His clients often describe him as approachable, insightful, and “the kind of therapist who actually gets it.” And “He knows what it’s like to be an adult and not know what these feelings and emotions are.”

He believes that every person’s mind and body carries untapped strengths and the power to heal. He’s here to help you uncover and use them in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
