How selected approaches translate to online care
Rachel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit everyday life. ACT helps people notice what they value and take small committed steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person’s experience and supports them through empathic listening and reflection. Together these approaches aim to give practical tools and steady support rather than quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That decision can change over time and she checks in regularly to make sure sessions stay useful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins between appointments when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, mindfulness practices, and behavioral techniques to an online setting so people can practice skills in their daily routines.
