Rachel mixes several evidence-based methods to fit the individual.
How Rachel works
She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build committed action. Cognitive behavior techniques address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness skills help calm the body and refocus attention.
People who want help with attachment wounds, abandonment, or forgiveness will find direct emotional work in sessions. She also addresses communication problems, isolation, guilt and shame, and coping after separation. The approach is collaborative and paced to what the client can handle.
Rachel brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Her work honors personal beliefs and life context while keeping attention on concrete changes. Many sessions include skill practice between meetings so progress continues outside the appointment.
Therapy conversations are aimed at building resilience, increasing self-compassion, and improving daily functioning. The plan is practical and tailored, with regular check-ins about what is and isn’t working.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and moving through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and social anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills that calm stress and improve focus, helpful for sleep issues and emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that match their needs and preferences, discussing what feels helpful and adjusting the plan over time. This collaborative process lets the client steer their goals while the therapist offers tools and structure.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth is needed or a quick check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can support brief updates, skill reminders, or steady contact between longer sessions, making therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
