How Rachel Uses Evidence-Based Techniques Online

Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical steps and homework that people can try between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients build present-moment awareness and calmness. Mindfulness exercises are simple practices that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation for stress and grief.

Finding the right approach is treated as a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
