Background and approach
She has four years of professional experience supporting clients through a wide range of struggles. That experience shapes how she structures sessions and sets goals with each person. In sessions she combines several approaches to match a person’s needs.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the focus on each person’s priorities and values. Rachael pays attention to how past experiences affect current relationships and self-image.
She works with issues such as attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation. She also helps people facing obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal mood changes. Her style is interactive and compassionate.
Sessions typically include skill-building, reflective conversation, and practical planning for daily life. Rachael wants clients to leave feeling heard and with tools they can use between meetings.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Rachael uses Existential Therapy to help people think about meaning, values, and the choices that shape their lives. This approach can help when someone is questioning life purpose or feeling stuck in repeated patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s priorities so sessions reflect what matters most to the person.She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools as well, offering clear strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thoughts, and mood changes because it breaks concerns into manageable steps and practiceable exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change so the plan stays relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, caregiving routine, or other commitments.
