About Rachel

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, mood disorders including bipolar, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem challenges, and related concerns such as social anxiety, self-harm, and young adult issues. Her background includes work across the lifespan and a particular history of supporting adolescents through personal life challenges.

Her style blends client-centered care with solution-focused strategies to help clients tackle day-to-day stressors and longer-term concerns. Rachel emphasizes respect and compassion, tailoring treatment plans to each person’s goals and preferences while helping them build practical skills.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rachel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based techniques in ways that adapt well to remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed during video or phone meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve interpersonal functioning and can be discussed in depth using conversational formats like video or live chat.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy aligns with what helps the individual make progress.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that best supports therapeutic work.
