Approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and helps the client name what matters most, then supports small steps toward those goals. This approach helps when someone wants to feel heard and build a plan that fits their life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practicing new ways of thinking and trying different actions between meetings, which can ease anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools to manage stress and stay present during difficult moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so strategies stay useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates or get brief support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
