About Rabi Gorkhali

Rabi Gorkhali is a psychosocial counselor certified through Dubyabhumi College, Nepal, with training affiliated with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT). His background combines formal coursework in psychosocial support and community mental health with a practical, counselling-informed approach to explaining anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday emotional struggles.

As the author and content lead for Anxiety and Depression Help, Rabi researches each topic against guidance from organizations such as the WHO, NIMH, NHS, ADAA, and Mayo Clinic, then writes it in plain, compassionate language for readers in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond. He reviews the site's self-help tools to keep them safe and useful, maintains links to crisis resources on relevant articles, and revisits older content to keep it accurate over time.

Rabi's aim is simple: reduce stigma by giving people clear language for what they're experiencing, while always pointing toward qualified professional care and crisis support when it's needed. Content he writes is educational, not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment from a licensed provider.

Credentials & Training

  • Psychosocial Counselor — certified through Dubyabhumi College, Nepal
  • Training affiliated with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT)
  • Formal education in psychosocial support, emotional wellbeing, and community mental health care
  • Ongoing study of evidence-based approaches such as CBT-informed coping skills, psychoeducation, and supportive counseling practices

Professional Background

Rabi works at the intersection of counseling practice and public mental health education. His background in psychosocial counseling focuses on helping people understand anxiety, depression, stress responses, and the day-to-day skills that support emotional stability. He emphasizes clear, practical language so readers can apply guidance in real life — whether they are seeking self-help strategies, supporting a loved one, or deciding when to reach out for professional care.

Through Anxiety and Depression Help, he develops and reviews educational articles, interactive coping tools, and resource pages designed to be accurate, compassionate, and accessible. Content is written to reflect established guidance from reputable health organizations and is reviewed against the site’s editorial standards.

Why I Write About Mental Health

Mental health information online is often either too clinical to feel usable or too vague to be trustworthy. Rabi writes to bridge that gap: explaining what anxiety and depression can feel like, what the research and clinical guidelines say, and which coping steps people can try safely while they seek appropriate care.

He believes stigma shrinks when people have language for their experiences — morning dread, chest tightness, emotional numbness, overthinking, or loss of interest — and when they can see that these struggles are common, treatable, and worthy of support. Writing is his way of extending psychosocial counseling principles beyond the therapy room: empathy, clarity, and practical next steps.

Editorial Approach

  • Prioritize evidence-based information from organizations such as WHO, NIMH, NHS, and ADAA
  • Distinguish educational self-help from clinical diagnosis or treatment advice
  • Include crisis and professional-help guidance where appropriate
  • Update high-traffic articles periodically so guidance stays current
  • Disclose advertising relationships clearly and keep them separate from editorial decisions
