How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of sessions and focuses on listening and reflecting to help people clarify what they want to change. It is useful for exploring how childhood roles and family expectations still affect current choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. CBT often includes homework and skill practice to apply between sessions.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when family interactions trigger intense reactions or when someone needs concrete strategies for managing stress. Rachel treats choice of method as a collaborative decision and will work with clients to figure out which approaches match their goals and preferences.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that combining exploration of family patterns with hands-on skills practice translates well to remote sessions, but check the current session options to plan what will work best.
