Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions in that direction. It helps with anxiety, codependency, and making life changes by teaching practical ways to stay aligned with your values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and offers step-by-step techniques to change unhelpful habits. It is useful for stress, depression, and managing symptoms day to day. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and helps them find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That collaboration means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting as needed.
