Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Rachel draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration - the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps create a compassionate space for exploration, which can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for coping and change.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively to determine what fits best. She tailors techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, combining methods when that better serves the client’s progress.
Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility that can make therapy more accessible around work, family, and daily life. These options allow people to connect with licensed professionals from different settings and maintain continuity of care while fitting treatment into their routines.
