Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Rachel commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people identify and rewrite the stories that shape their choices. That approach helps when people feel defined by past events or labels and want a different way to understand themselves.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety or depression.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Rachel works collaboratively to match methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans when something isn’t working.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, homework questions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make sessions more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
