Online support
Approaches and online therapy options
Rachel uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as core approaches in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds affect present-day connection and communication.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can shift over time as new challenges or insights appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule consistent work and to keep progress moving despite a busy life.
