Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and partnering with the person to set goals and make decisions that fit their life.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices. Mindfulness exercises help with emotional regulation, managing overwhelm, and staying present during challenging moments. Together these methods provide both skills and supportive listening so people can try small changes between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client collaborate to pick methods that match the client’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. That may mean more skills practice some weeks and more reflective conversation in others.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills demonstration, while phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth. Live chat or messaging can work for brief check-ins, quick coping plans, or progress updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between visits.
