Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thought patterns that increase anger, anxiety, or low mood. CBT focuses on testing small behavioral changes and reframing unhelpful thoughts to reduce reactivity and improve problem solving.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and collaboration. This approach helps clients set their own goals and work at a pace that fits their needs. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build awareness of sensations and urges so reactions can be noticed before they escalate.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods based on goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. This is a collaborative decision made over the first sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or use a shorter check-in when days are busy. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, pacing, and whether video, telephone, or another format is preferable.
