How Rachel’s approaches work online
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that change behavior and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it teaches clear skills to test and change patterns.She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, as one tool for processing traumatic memories and reducing their emotional intensity. EMDR sessions focus on targeted memories and bodily responses and can be adapted to online formats when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel talks with each person about goals and preferences, then suggests methods that fit those needs. Together they track progress and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports brief updates and reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep steady momentum between meetings.
