Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rachel often blends existential therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people face hard questions and live by clearer values. Existential therapy invites clients to look at meaning, responsibility, and choices in their lives so they can make decisions that feel authentic. ACT focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that align with what matters to the person.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. That approach helps when people want to change how they relate to others or understand repeated difficulties in relationships. Choosing the right method is collaborative; Rachel will work with each person to figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits their goals and situation.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style support. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
