Background and approach
Conversations tend to be straightforward, with an emphasis on skills people can try between sessions. Rachel commonly helps people cope with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and addictions. She also supports concerns related to relationships, parenting, career strain, and self-esteem.
Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and multicultural concerns. In sessions she blends client-centered work with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods to help people set realistic goals and notice progress.
The room is collaborative - therapist and client decide what to try next. Evening appointment times are offered in Central Standard Time to fit non-traditional schedules. Rachel’s style is steady and direct, aimed at helping clients build coping strategies and move toward clearer choices.
How Rachel uses common approaches in online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps people choose what to work on next; this approach is useful when someone needs a steady, supportive place to start. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers clear exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting; it works well for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Rachel will talk with a client about goals and preferences and try methods that seem to fit. If an approach isn’t helping, she adjusts the plan so sessions remain relevant and practical.
Online formats give flexible options for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face-to-face when visual connection matters. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging offers brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These choices help people fit therapy into work, family, and other commitments.
