Online support options
Approach-based online therapy for relationships and change
Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking, testing them against evidence, and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to change habits like substance use. This approach uses open questions and reflective listening to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change and build commitment.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try out methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to prioritize for relationships, parenting concerns, or life transitions.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when a deeper conversation is needed. Phone calls are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Chat and text work well for quick updates, scheduling, or when written reflection helps the process. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep momentum between sessions.
