Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Rachel uses client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience and goals at the center of care, creating space for people to explore values, strengths, and meaningful change. This approach is helpful for improving self-esteem, navigating life transitions, and strengthening relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool in Rachel’s practice. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.
