Tailored Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Rachael draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide her work. ACT focuses on helping people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own pace; it supports self-esteem, confidence, and relationship concerns by creating a collaborative space where clients feel heard. CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and struggles with motivation or coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so treatment remains practical and relevant to the client’s life.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it possible to fit care into busy schedules and everyday routines. These options increase accessibility for people managing work, family, or health responsibilities while still receiving support from licensed professionals and therapists.
