Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Rachel Garrett commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist supports the client's own strengths and insights - it can help with self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - so people can fit care around work, family, and other commitments. These options make therapy more accessible and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances.
