Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Rachael uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - a skills-based approach that helps people clarify personal values and learn practical ways to live in alignment with those values while reducing avoidance of difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life transitions.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a structured method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches strategies to change them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with day-to-day stressors.

Rachael treats the process of finding the right approach as collaborative. She works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time so the work feels focused and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home or other settings. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow therapists and licensed professionals to provide consistent, goal-oriented care across different modes of communication.
