Evidence-Based Approaches Adapted for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and take action aligned with those values. It emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while building committed steps toward meaningful goals - useful for anxiety, life transitions, and low motivation.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client drives the pace and content of therapy. This approach helps people explore identity, improve self-esteem, and strengthen communication within relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching practical skills to reframe thoughts and develop new coping strategies. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is usually collaborative. Rachel will work with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find the best match.
Online therapy by video or phone offers flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions in real-life settings, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located within the therapist's service area.
