How Rachel uses CBT, ACT, and client-centered work online
Rachel often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered techniques in brief, practical ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new actions with small experiments. ACT helps clarify personal values and build small behaviors that move someone toward those values. Client-Centered work emphasizes listening, reflecting, and shaping goals from what the client says.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. Together they set short-term objectives and try concrete skills to see what helps most in day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. For people who prefer less screen time, sessions can be arranged to focus on audio or brief homework tasks. Rachel uses structured tools and homework that translate well to remote sessions, helping clients practice skills between meetings.
