Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachel integrates Attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationship patterns show up in adult life, helping people understand attachment needs and make different choices in close relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their values and take committed action even when emotions feel difficult. Client-Centered therapy provides a respectful, empathic space where the person sets the pace and the therapist follows their lead.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about their goals, worries, and past experiences, then try methods that fit those needs. That may mean mixing approaches and adjusting over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter voice check-in is needed. Chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, homework review, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family routines, and busy days.
