Approaches Rachel Uses and How They Work Online
Client-centered work begins by listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist helps people name their goals and supports choices rather than directing every step. This approach suits people who want an equal partnership in deciding what to work on.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with clearer thinking and practical actions. It is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. In sessions the therapist and client often set small tasks to practice between meetings.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, emotions, and body sensations without judgment. It can help reduce reactivity, manage stress, and improve attention to the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. The result is a shared process where the person remains in control of pace and focus.
