Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Rabin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is practical and often helps with anxiety, panic, mood symptoms, and day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Rabin works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences, adjusting the balance of skill-building and insight work as needed. This collaborative process helps align treatment with what the client hopes to achieve.
