Online therapy and therapeutic approach
Rachel uses a blend of client-centered techniques and structured therapies to support people working through trauma, addiction, mood, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, while Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way, with the therapist and client prioritizing goals together and shaping the plan as progress unfolds.For trauma-related work, Rachel incorporates EMDR and trauma-focused therapy methods when appropriate, using guided protocols to address distressing memories and their present-day effects. Motivational Interviewing is available to explore readiness for change and to strengthen personal motivation, particularly around substance use or behavior change.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that best fits their needs. The format and therapeutic tools are discussed at intake so the work can be tailored to each person’s preferences and presenting concerns.
