How Rachel uses CBT online to address sleep and stress
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems like anxiety, low mood, and poor sleep active. CBT breaks concerns into manageable parts and focuses on skills such as thought experiments, activity scheduling, and sleep habit adjustments to improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a team process where techniques are tried, adjusted, and refined over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow follow-up between meetings. Therapists can use brief check-ins, focused skill practice, or longer sessions depending on your needs, and Rachel will help shape a plan that fits your schedule and goals.
