How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for grief, life transitions, and ongoing mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It often includes practical skill-building and short homework tasks.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will listen to your concerns and work with you to pick methods that fit your goals and daily life. Together you’ll try things out and adjust based on what helps most.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent commuting. Therapists can use ACT and CBT techniques effectively in remote sessions, guiding mindfulness practices, behavioral experiments, and goal-setting from wherever you connect.
