About Rachel

Her style mixes goals and skills training. She uses strategies from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice thoughts, try different behaviors, and build routines that reduce distress. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that affect daily life.
Rachel aims to make sessions a place for practical problem-solving. She explains tools clearly and checks in about how they worked. This helps people adjust plans over time and keep progress manageable.
People who choose Rachel typically want a direct, calm approach and hands-on coping tools. To start, she asks a few questions to match priorities and then schedules sessions based on the client’s needs and timing.
How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change patterns that keep problems going. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, panic attacks, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them based on what fits the person’s life and progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use skills learned in session in their real environments and return with specific situations to talk through. Licensed professionals tailor session pacing and homework to match each person’s routine and needs.
