Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachael uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients address practical problems and emotional patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more constructive alternatives; it is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training and emotional regulation techniques to support people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or patterns of reacting under stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance, offering tools to reduce rumination and improve coping with stress and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachael collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so the work fits each person's circumstances and pace.

Online therapy with Rachael is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and schedule sessions that align with work or family commitments.
