Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Rachel Anauo integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy with Motivational Interviewing to address a range of concerns in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance practices that help manage reactivity, reduce rumination, and support emotional regulation in everyday life. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change, useful for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and readiness for new behaviors.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches fit their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting strategies over time to maximize progress and comfort.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit varied schedules and needs. These formats make it easier to access regular support during life transitions, manage ongoing symptoms between sessions, and maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
