About Rachel
Rachel listens carefully and helps people name what feels hard. She uses straightforward questions and practical steps so sessions stay focused and useful. She emphasizes safety and pacing when trauma or painful memories come up.
Her style blends talking and meaningful tasks between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral changes. She also uses narrative techniques to reframe life events and somatic work to notice how stress shows up in the body.
Rachel often supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and feelings of isolation and loneliness. She also helps with codependency, communication issues, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, questions about life purpose, and social anxiety.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented. Rachel helps set clear steps that match each person’s needs and pace. She encourages short-term wins while also addressing deeper patterns over time.
Approaches that shape online sessions
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Narrative Therapy helps people tell their stories differently, separating a person from a problem so they can notice strengths and choose new directions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as needs and priorities change.
Confirm session options before booking to learn which online formats are currently offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. It can also let a person choose whether to use video or another format depending on what feels most manageable.
