Approaches for online therapeutic support
Rachael uses client-centered therapy to create a warm, accepting environment where the person’s priorities guide the work - this approach helps when someone needs space to explore feelings, identity, relationships, or the impact of past experiences. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood and to build practical coping strategies. In addition, mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices that can support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity to stressors.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to find what best fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That exploration may lead to a mix of methods tailored to each client’s situation.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach people who are far away or have mobility constraints. These formats support regular contact, flexible scheduling, and the ability to continue care from wherever a client is located, while working with experienced therapists to make steady progress.
