Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Raquel Cherry draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding and addressing relational concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood-related issues. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can support coping with stress, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raquel works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences, and will recommend or combine methods that best suit the individual situation. The therapist and client shape the plan together and adjust it over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different schedules and life circumstances, making it easier to maintain momentum in therapy while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
