Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachael uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients are encouraged to explore their values, feelings, and goals. This humanistic approach helps people who want to build self-understanding, improve relationships, and find more meaning in daily life.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT can be especially useful for addressing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and many stress-related concerns.

Dialectical behavior therapy - DBT - techniques are used to teach practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can benefit clients facing intense emotions, impulsivity, or relationship challenges.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael collaborates with each person to tailor strategies to their specific needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and insights emerge.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varying schedules and life demands. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
