Approaches Rachel Uses in Online Care

Rachel uses client-centered therapy to place the client's experiences and goals at the center of the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping individuals feel understood while they explore personal values and choices.

She also employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it is often used for issues like anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

For clients affected by traumatic experiences, Rachel draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the ways past events influence current functioning. This form of therapy aims to reduce distressing symptoms and support healthier coping over time.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and personal preferences so treatment feels appropriate and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy life, access support from different locations, and continue regular work toward goals even when in-person visits are not possible.
