How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to move toward them even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise. It can help with anxiety, panic, and life transitions by teaching people to notice inner experiences without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses specific exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic attacks, worry, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus; it pairs well with ACT and CBT for managing intense emotions.Finding the right approach is usually a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, what has helped or not helped before, and personal preferences. Together they decide which strategies to try first and adjust over time based on what works and what doesn’t.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some people prefer shorter phone conversations to save bandwidth, while others choose video to use visual cues. A therapist can suggest practical ways to make sessions fit everyday life without promising a specific format.
