Therapeutic approaches for online support

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood challenges. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify what matters most and take small actions in line with those values. Client-centered methods guide the overall work by keeping the person's needs and pace central.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies together over time. This helps make sure the plan feels relevant and doable for day-to-day life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people choose what fits their routine. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
