Evidence-informed approaches delivered online
Rachel often uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, listening space where people set the agenda and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs empathetic support and a chance to be heard before making changes.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying thought patterns that increase distress and practicing small behavior changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and problem solving in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will discuss goals, try techniques together, and adjust methods based on what feels most helpful for each person. The therapist-patient relationship guides which tools are used and how quickly they are introduced.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for a full conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are handy for brief updates, homework prompts, or when a written check-in fits better into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and work on goals from varied locations.
