About Rachel
She helps people who are coping with trauma and abuse and those managing panic attacks or symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Parents who feel worn down by the demands of caregiving can get help with practical strategies and emotional support. Young adults and people struggling with isolation, shame, or social anxiety can also find focused guidance.
Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas. Rachel uses simple, hands-on techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build manageable daily habits. She also draws from dialectical behavior ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.
Sessions focus on concrete goals and next steps. Conversations center on what the person wants to change and how to get there in small, doable steps. Rachel adapts pace and techniques to match each person’s needs.
People can expect respectful, direct communication and practical tools to use between sessions. Rachel frames therapy as a collaborative effort and adjusts plans as progress is made.
How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online
Rachel frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT teaches skills to change thinking patterns and reduce anxiety, panic, or low mood through step-by-step exercises and practice tasks.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarifying personal values. ACT can help with living a meaningful life even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships shape current expectations and patterns, which can be useful for improving close connections and easing relational anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or skill practice between meetings. These choices make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work focused on concrete skills and steady progress.
