How Rachel’s approaches work online

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and test new ways of responding. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and focuses on behavior change and practical exercises. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work and centers on active listening and adapting sessions to each person’s tempo and needs, creating space to reflect and choose next steps. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when someone needs tools for managing strong emotions and building distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rachel will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and daily life. Over time she may introduce different tools based on how things are progressing and what the person finds most useful.

Online therapy with Rachel uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, skill practice between sessions, and ongoing check-ins that fit into busy schedules.
