Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it can be helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and family dynamics. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness to support people managing intense emotions, trauma responses and self-destructive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey; Rachel collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses. The process is shared and flexible, with an emphasis on practical steps that suit the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy or geographically distant lives. These options enable continuity of care, timely access to licensed professionals and therapists, and the opportunity to work in ways that feel most manageable for each client.
