How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Rachel blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy online to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person's goals. Cognitive behavioral work adds clear exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current reactions, especially in close relationships and parenting. That perspective helps when addressing anxiety, intimacy issues, or family-of-origin concerns. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process and will be guided by the client's needs and goals.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can support brief questions, ongoing coaching, or moments when writing feels easier. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, fitting therapy into a busy life, and continuing work between sessions.
