Rachel also brings experience working one-on-one and with couples. In sessions she combines solution-focused work with approaches that pay attention to relationships and meaning. She uses tools that help with stress, anger, communication problems, and coping with life changes.

Approaches that guide online work and relationship help
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety, anger, or low mood. CBT focuses on finding evidence for or against a thought and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress.She also draws on the Gottman Method and Imago relationship ideas to address communication and intimacy. These approaches offer concrete tools for reducing conflict, improving dialogue, and rebuilding connection between partners.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel aims to match methods to a person's goals and preferences and she collaborates with clients to decide what to try first. Together they set clear steps and evaluate what is helping over time.
Online therapy with Rachel can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people talk face-to-face; phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low; chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins or when someone wants ongoing written support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
