How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Rachel uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience, slowing down to listen and reflect what matters to the client. This approach helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to work on.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new behavior patterns, useful for anger, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness techniques are part of the work as well, teaching simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of bodily cues before anger escalates.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will review goals and preferences with the client and adjust techniques over time. Clients and the therapist check progress and pick strategies that fit day-to-day life.
