Online support options
Approach to Attachment and Solution-Focused Online Care
Rachel often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current relationship patterns. This approach helps people notice attachment needs and try new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and conflict.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which puts the person's experience at the center. That means listening closely, reflecting what matters most, and letting the client's goals guide the work. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to set small, achievable goals and build momentum toward change, which can be helpful for stress, career challenges, and relationship shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they track progress and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging can support quick coping tools, ongoing reflection, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make therapy more accessible for different schedules and needs.
