Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Evidence-informed approaches available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes practical homework and experiments to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rainey will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match goals, preferences, and daily demands. That process can involve trying a few strategies and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit short breaks or low-bandwidth situations, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins and ongoing support between scheduled appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to practice skills in real time.
