Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try different behavior patterns in daily life. Rachel also draws on mindfulness practices to help calm the body and increase awareness of thoughts and emotions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her work when someone is weighing change or facing ambivalence.
Narrative approaches can help people reframe life stories that keep them stuck. She views therapy as a joint process. Goals are set together and progress is checked over time.
The focus is on building skills that clients can use between sessions to manage mood, cravings, worry, or relationship patterns. Rachel practices in Rhode Island as an LMHC, and she brings experience from a range of clinical settings. Her approach is steady and supportive, aimed at helping people find clearer direction and more consistent day-to-day coping.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's perspective and priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely and helps clients set goals that match their day-to-day life and values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often includes simple homework, thought records, and small experiments to try between sessions to reduce anxiety, tackle unwanted habits, or manage mood.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily signals without immediately reacting. Practicing short mindfulness exercises during video or phone sessions can make those skills easier to use during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend one or a mix of methods. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
