Approach-Focused Online Therapy

Rachael Mooney integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy to create practical, collaborative care. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and respect for each person’s experience, helping people explore values, identity, and meaning while building self-awareness and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools are also used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship challenges arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Rachael partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods over time so treatment feels useful and relevant. That process is collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online therapy with Rachael is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for starting and continuing care.
