Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Rachel draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, sleep and anger patterns that show up in daily life.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to teach practical tools for managing intense emotions. DBT techniques focus on distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication which can help when anger flares or relationships strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.
