Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachael combines approaches that teach skills and strengthen connection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce stress and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving emotional regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy helps map relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections, which can be useful for intimacy and family-of-origin concerns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques together, adjusting the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to prioritize over time.
Online formats make that collaborative work more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can be used for brief updates or between-session support. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
