How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Rachel draws on practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on building coping skills and improving day-to-day functioning. One common approach she uses teaches straightforward coping strategies for anxiety and stress, like pacing tasks, breathing and problem-solving steps to reduce overwhelm. These techniques help when worry and tension get in the way of daily life.She also works with methods that support emotional processing after difficult events. This involves gentle discussion of experiences, identifying triggers, and developing ways to respond differently when strong feelings arise. That work can be useful for trauma, relationship wounds and recurrent anger.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then try options together to find what fits best. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, journalling-style reflection or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit around work, family and daily life.
