Online support options
Using ACT, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding so people feel heard and can guide the pace and goals of their work.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will help decide which methods to try. The work is collaborative - techniques are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for closer interaction and visual cues, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter exchanges, and text messaging lets people share notes or thoughts between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varying routines.
