Background and approach
Sessions often include practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving sleep, and handling conflict in relationships. She uses a mix of methods depending on the situation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers tools to change unhelpful thoughts and habits.
Attachment-Based work explores how early relationships affect present behavior and connection. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be part of trauma-focused work when appropriate. Rachelle is also experienced with challenges such as addiction, grief, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and attention differences like ADHD.
She addresses both immediate coping needs and longer-term patterns that cause repeated problems. People who choose her typically want practical strategies and a respectful, steady guide through change. Rachelle emphasizes collaboration, clear goals, and gradual progress rather than quick fixes.
She supports clients as they build skills and confidence to handle life’s ups and downs.
How online approaches translate to real change
Rachelle commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routine behaviors. CBT teaches concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood swings.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. That work can help with trust, communication, and repeating relationship problems.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill work. Phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth days or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging are good for brief check-ins, tracking coping strategies, or fitting support into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use the approach that fits daily life best.
