Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that make a difference between appointments. Her style is warm and respectful. Conversations center on each person’s values, strengths, and goals.
Rachel pays attention to how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact, then helps clients try new ways of responding that match their priorities. Therapy may include working on boundaries, improving communication, and processing past wounds like abandonment or attachment injuries. She often combines mindfulness skills with practical behavior changes so clients can notice what matters and act on it.
Rachel aims to help people build self-compassion and more stable routines. She supports those navigating divorce or separation, forgiveness work, and the shame and guilt that can follow big life shifts. The emphasis is on real-life tools and steady progress that fit each person’s situation.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like panic attacks, insomnia, and social anxiety. It gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and test new ways of coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and share a longer session. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare, and other life demands.
