Background and approach
From there she and the client brainstorm practical ways forward. Sessions include goal-driven planning and regular check-ins about progress. Rachael often uses Cognitive Behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and develop new skills.
She also draws on client-centered and attachment-based ideas to strengthen relationships and emotional understanding. Therapy can cover grief, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger, career struggles, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Rachael also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, isolation, and issues related to veterans and the armed forces.
Her work with couples involves focusing on emotion and connection while helping each person clarify what they want from the relationship. Rachael makes adjustments to the approach as needs change, and she reviews plans each session to keep work practical and goal-focused.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make counseling flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or other routines while working with licensed professionals.
