How Rachael uses therapy approaches online
Rachael uses practical cognitive behavioral therapy to identify thinking patterns and try new responses. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy is another method she draws on; it teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment noticing.She also uses client-centered approaches that prioritize listening and the client’s own goals. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs and goals, adjusting plans as progress or challenges emerge.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow brief check-ins when life gets hectic. Some approaches, like skill coaching or short CBT exercises, adapt well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings to support steady progress.
