How Raechelle’s Approaches Work Online
Raechelle commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape how they see problems and themselves. This approach is helpful for people who feel stuck by old labels or family expectations and want new ways to move forward.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and replacing them with practical actions. CBT is often useful for anxiety, panic, and stress when clients want concrete tools to manage symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another approach she draws on for attachment and relationship concerns; it helps people name emotions and change patterns that keep them disconnected.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Raechelle will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they pick methods that fit the issue and the person’s lifestyle, and she can adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when discussing relationships or complex feelings. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when a shorter, on-the-go option fits a busy schedule. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other daily responsibilities.
