Background and approach
Her style centers on listening first and tailoring the work to each person. That means learning what a client wants and adjusting pace and methods to fit those goals. Rachel draws on client-centered work to keep the person's experience central to every session.
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help with thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, panic, or low mood. Emotionally-focused ideas guide conversations about relationships and connection when emotions feel stuck or overwhelming. Rachel brings five years of clinical experience to her practice as an LPC.
People seeking help can expect a calm, practical approach that mixes supportive listening with clear strategies for coping and change.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps people feel heard and guides the therapist to follow the client's pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and change unhelpful behavior.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror in-person sessions. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can work well for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let someone check in between sessions, send quick updates, or use shorter exchanges when scheduling or work demands make longer sessions difficult.
