Approaches That Guide Online Support with Rachel Hamilton
Rachel integrates client-centred therapy into her online practice, offering a respectful, empathetic listening approach that helps people feel understood and supported as they explore personal challenges. This approach is useful for a wide range of concerns, including low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and navigating major life changes.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful actions. ACT can be particularly helpful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that hold someone back from living in line with their goals.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs Rachel’s work with relationship and attachment issues, focusing on how early relational patterns affect present-day connections and providing ways to develop healthier bonds and communication. These approaches are chosen collaboratively - Rachel will work with each client to identify which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without traveling, allowing clients to continue therapy during busy or transitional periods.
