Background and approach
Rachel has worked with people facing trauma, housing or financial instability, and the demands of young adulthood. That background informs how she approaches problems such as anxiety, depression, and burnout. In the room she combines mindfulness and behavior-focused techniques so clients can notice patterns and practice new responses.
She often uses values work to help clients clarify what matters and make steady changes toward those priorities. Practical concerns like sleep disruption, trouble with communication, or ongoing irritability get direct attention. Rachel helps people develop step-by-step plans for handling triggers, improving rest, and repairing strained interactions.

Therapeutic tools you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It uses simple exercises to shift attention away from unhelpful thoughts and toward meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and creating a supportive space where people can explore concerns at their own pace.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That process often starts with trying a few techniques and adjusting the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or times when typing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options support flexibility while keeping the focus on clear tools and steady progress.
