How Rachel combines CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills online
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck. CBT sessions are structured and goal-focused, useful for depression, anxiety, and problems with self-esteem.She also practices client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach supports clearer goals and helps decide what to work on next. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered as tools for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. She will suggest practical skills to try and adjust plans based on what works.
