How Rachel works
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Rachel helps people set small, concrete goals and practices skills between sessions.
She aims for clear, measurable progress rather than long lists of abstract goals. Common concerns she addresses include grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, parenting strain, and career stress. She also supports people facing identity-related issues, body image challenges, and compassion fatigue.
Rachel pays attention to how early attachment and family of origin issues shape current patterns. She works with symptoms like dissociation, anger, and co-morbid conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. Her style is calm, direct, and focused on what will help day to day.

Online support options
Using CBT and DBT Online to Build Practical Skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. It is useful for anxiety, depression, eating and sleep problems, and many everyday stressors. DBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It can be especially helpful for strong mood swings, distress tolerance, and communication struggles.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Rachel will work with clients to judge which methods fit their needs and goals. She encourages collaboration and adjusts strategies as progress is made, so people can try tools and decide what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use face-to-face time when needed, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is required. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and between-session support easier to fit into a busy day. These options help make consistent care more accessible around work, family, and daily life.
