Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support with Rachel Andrews

Rachel uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s goals and experience guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening and collaboration and can be helpful for improving self-esteem, processing grief, navigating relationship issues, and building confidence.

Rachel also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused and can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and some patterns related to trauma or addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing support between sessions, and increase access for clients who may find in-person appointments difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective care through these digital formats while tailoring the experience to each client’s circumstances.
