How Rachel uses talk therapy methods in online sessions
Rachel commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to notice sensations and respond with less reactivity, which can help with panic or social anxiety.She also draws on client-centered principles to shape conversations. That means the focus is on the client’s goals and experiences, and the therapist adjusts pacing and methods in collaboration with the client. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together, and Rachel will help decide what fits best based on needs and preferences.
