Online support

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Rachel uses Existential Therapy to help people look at what gives their life meaning and to face big questions about purpose, choice, and responsibility. This approach can be useful for people wrestling with life transitions, loss, or a sense that things feel aimless. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and conflict, and to practice new ways of relating that reduce anxiety and improve intimacy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore their feelings and make decisions at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as progress is made. The process is collaborative and aimed at finding methods that feel useful and doable for daily life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, processing between sessions, or when typing helps someone organize thoughts. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
