She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, eating and sleep problems, and other life challenges. Rachel centers her work on each person's strengths and practical steps forward. She approaches therapy with a straightforward, supportive manner so people feel understood and can try new ways of coping.
Rachel believes clients know their stories best and brings collaboration to every session. She listens for what matters most and helps set clear, doable goals. Her style blends practical skills and emotion-focused attention so people build tools that fit their daily life.
Her clinical background includes work with trauma, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing body image struggles, abandonment or attachment wounds, caregiver stress, and family of origin questions. Rachel draws on methods that teach thinking and behavior skills as well as strategies for managing intense emotions.
Sessions usually involve learning different ways to respond to difficult thoughts, practicing new behaviors between meetings, and checking what works in real life. Rachel helps people make step-by-step changes rather than pushing big leaps all at once. She aims to leave people with tools they can use after therapy ends.
Her goal is to empower people to feel more capable in daily life. Rachel offers a calm, direct approach and encourages small experiments that can lead to steady improvement over time.
How CBT and DBT Inform Online Care
Rachel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques in a practical way. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how people feel and act. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress by teaching concrete skills to shift daily routines and thinking patterns.DBT emphasizes skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships. It teaches pacing, emotion regulation, and grounding strategies that can be useful for trauma responses, anger, and intense mood swings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as progress is made.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find online care helps fit therapy into busy schedules and reduces travel time. It can make it easier to keep brief check-ins during a workday, have longer sessions without commuting, or practice skills in the same environment where problems occur. Rachel uses her clinical approaches to shape sessions so they fit real life and everyday routines.
