She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Rachael values honesty, practical steps, and small changes that add up over time.
Rachael holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and a Clinical Social Worker designation, and she brings five years of professional experience.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people name connection needs and try new ways of relating to others. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy adds emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills for intense feelings and impulsive behavior.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing commute time and allowing meetings during a break or between obligations. It can also let people keep a consistent schedule while working on skills, practicing techniques, and checking in about progress.
