How Rachel’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their values and take committed steps toward them. It teaches simple mindfulness and action strategies to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action, which can help with anxiety, depression, and family or parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Sessions often include short experiments, thought records, and plans to try new coping skills between meetings, useful for stress, mood, and relationship patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful when feelings escalate.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and preferences. If a method isn’t helping, adjustments are made together until there is a better fit.
Confirm the available session options before booking to learn how meetings are scheduled. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or longer work as needed. Ask about session timing and how to structure work between meetings to make therapy fit everyday life.
