How Rachel works
Her background includes long experience across community and clinical settings in Rhode Island. Rachel uses a mix of approaches to match a person’s needs rather than relying on one method. That means she may focus on changing thinking habits, exploring personal stories, or helping clients notice and shift present-moment reactions.
Typical work covers relationship problems, communication difficulties, eating and body-image concerns, addiction and recovery challenges, grief, and coping with major life changes. She also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, blended family issues, fertility stress, and compassion fatigue. In sessions Rachel emphasizes clear plans and doable steps.
She offers tools from cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative exercises, and client-centered listening. The aim is to help people move from stuck patterns toward choices that feel more in line with their goals.

How Rachel uses therapy approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience through attentive listening and empathy. It helps people feel heard and supports self-directed change by building on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, anger, and coping with trauma.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That means plans are adjusted over time based on what’s helping and what isn’t.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging works for ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a hectic schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
