Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making decisions during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that increase distress and practicing alternative responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and building concrete coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a mix makes the most sense, and the plan is adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Rachelle offers video calls for face-to-face conversations, phone sessions when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options provide flexibility so people can move forward without rearranging their whole schedule.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
