Online support
Using client-centered and practical approaches online
Rachael often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy means conversations center on the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist listening closely and responding to what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties.She also draws on emotionally-focused ideas when feelings feel confusing or overwhelming. This approach helps name and make sense of strong emotions so people can respond differently to relationship and personal stress. Together these approaches give both understanding and practical steps to try between sessions. Finding the right mix is part of the work - Rachael will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for full conversations and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging can help people keep progress between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules change.
