04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachel blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to offer clear, usable tools. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following what the person says is most important, which helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.She also uses emotionally-focused ideas for people who want to improve how they connect and communicate in relationships. That approach highlights emotions and patterns in interactions so people can shift how they respond to each other. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together decide which approaches to use and when to adjust them.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling fit into busy lives. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging lets people send updates or process thoughts between meetings. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to attend while matching the format to the work people want to do.
