Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rachel lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people practice new skills and manage difficult feelings. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, grounding exercises, and step-by-step plans to face stressful situations. These tools are aimed at reducing immediate overwhelm and increasing day-to-day functioning.

Another approach centers on building communication and relationship skills. This work breaks communication down into specific behaviors people can practice, like clear requests, active listening, and setting boundaries, which can help improve interactions and reduce repeated conflicts.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Rachel will help clients identify goals and try approaches that match those goals and their preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made so the therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction when that matters, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days, and messaging or live chat support quick check-ins or ongoing written work between calls. These options give flexibility so people can fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines.
