How her approaches translate to online work
Rachel uses attachment-based therapy to look at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current reactions. This approach helps people who want to change how they relate to partners, caregivers, or trusted others. Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and priorities, helping them name goals and make decisions that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will discuss preferences, current needs, and specific goals and then help choose methods that fit. That choice can change over time as goals shift or new issues emerge. The process is collaborative and goal-focused.
Confirm the session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports doing skill practice between sessions and reviewing progress regularly. Ask about available session options when completing the platform questionnaire.
