Background and approach
Rachel draws on attachment ideas to help clients understand patterns in relationships and improve connection and boundaries. Her work includes helping people manage long-term conditions, caregiver stress, and developmental or intellectual disabilities. She has experience supporting adults on the autism spectrum and those facing family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, divorce, and first responder stress.
Practical skills like time management, organization, and conflict resolution are often part of the plan. Rachel uses motivational interviewing to help people find motivation and build routines that match their goals. She also brings existential questions into sessions when people want to explore meaning and purpose after major life changes.
Her style is warm, empowering, and collaborative, aiming to leave people with clearer next steps. People typically leave sessions with a concrete action plan and tools to practice between meetings.

Online approaches that focus on goals and relationships
Rachel blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques to make online sessions feel practical and grounded. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding your priorities so the work follows your pace and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress.She also draws on attachment-based ideas when relationship patterns are affecting mood or conflict. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people try new ways of relating. Together, these approaches give both insight and concrete steps to practice between sessions, and Rachel treats finding the right mix as part of the therapy process.
Choosing what fits best is collaborative - the therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what you want to change, then adapt methods over time. Online work lets that collaboration happen across formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, so sessions can match your schedule and energy level. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lighter check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging helps with quick updates, short coping strategies, or check-ins between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills in real life, and stay connected when life is busy or routines shift.
