Rachel frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy to help people change unhelpful thinking and notice how thoughts affect mood and behavior. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing new responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and increase emotional steadiness, useful for grief, trauma reminders, and daily overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed. She uses client feedback to shape sessions so the work fits the person’s values and life situation.
