How therapy approaches work online with Rochelle

Rochelle uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice skills between meetings, which can help with anxiety, mood, and day-to-day coping.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, concrete steps toward them. ACT combines mindfulness with behavioral choices and can be useful for people wrestling with difficult emotions or life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rochelle collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts the pace and mix of techniques based on how a person responds over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send updates or work through brief challenges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different time zones.
