How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. In practice this means a conversational style that draws out a client’s values and strengths and helps set realistic next steps. It can be useful for decisions about behavior, motivation, and building momentum for change.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience. The therapist offers nonjudgmental listening, reflection, and empathy so people can clarify what matters most to them. This approach helps when someone needs support to sort through feelings and decide on personal goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments or practical strategies to change patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she may blend approaches over time. The goal is to create a plan that feels doable and that people can use between visits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and fit sessions into a busy week. It also allows shorter check-ins or conversations that don’t require being on camera, depending on the format offered. -
