Online support
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Rachel often blends the Gottman Method, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication patterns and building practical skills for interaction. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and in control of their process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and teaches concrete exercises to shift unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. She works collaboratively to identify goals and then tests methods that match the client's needs and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT worksheet one week and a mindfulness exercise the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, journaling prompts, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
