Therapeutic approaches and online support

Rachael integrates several evidence-informed approaches to address emotional and relational difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to meaningful actions - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can help with depression, anxiety, and mood instability. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, which can be helpful for relationship issues, attachment concerns and difficulties stemming from abandonment or foster care experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and to shape a plan that fits those priorities. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine methods to create a bespoke pathway for change.

Online therapy with Rachael is designed to be flexible and accessible. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy life, manage energy levels, and maintain continuity of care from home or work.
