Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Rachael often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify what matters to them and build actions aligned with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. This approach is helpful for managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions.She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies and shifts unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. CBT provides concrete tools for changing reactions to stressful situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are integrated when emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, or distress tolerance are priorities. DBT offers structured techniques for managing intense emotions and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Rachael works collaboratively with each person - listening to goals, assessing needs, and adjusting methods until a comfortable, effective mix of strategies is established. She views therapy as a partnership with the client guiding the pace and focus.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists can also provide support through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals from locations where traditional appointments may be difficult to schedule.
