Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT sessions typically involve identifying specific thoughts, testing them, and practicing new responses for anxiety or low mood.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation and stress tolerance. DBT strategies can help when feelings are intense and someone needs tools for managing strong emotions or improving interpersonal interactions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options let people choose what works best for their schedule and day-to-day routines.
