How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Rachel commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic; it is practical and goal-oriented. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-guided action, which can help with grief, avoidance, and problems tied to shame or self-criticism.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods to try. That plan can shift as progress and needs change, keeping the work relevant and collaborative.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be convenient for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to make consistent care easier to fit into daily life.
