Background and approach
She encourages small, doable steps so progress feels manageable. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Rachel treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and works with them to set clear goals.
She pays attention to how past experiences affect current reactions and to patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

She helps people navigate relationship challenges, communication problems, and the emotional fallout of separation or loss.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It is useful for stress, life transitions, and when feeling uncertain about purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It often involves practical exercises and homework to try between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve present-moment awareness, which can help with anxiety, chronic pain, and emotional regulation.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rachel works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client’s goals, needs, and preferences. She will check in regularly and adapt methods as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions can be a better fit when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, updates between sessions, or when someone prefers typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
