How Rachel works
Rachel blends talk therapy with mindfulness and cognitive tools so clients can notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and reduce distress in day-to-day life. She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.
Work can include rebuilding self-worth, navigating midlife shifts, and sorting out money-related stress. Rachel helps people clarify values and find a clearer sense of purpose.
Rachel uses Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person’s perspective, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behaviors, Jungian ideas to explore personal symbols and life themes, and Trauma-Focused and Mindfulness approaches when trauma responses and regulation are central. Her approach is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
She practices in Florida and meets people online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions are scheduled around availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Rachel blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support change in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience, helping clients feel heard and respected as they find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend strategies that fit. This is a collaborative process - adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in regular sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
