How Raechelle’s Approaches Fit Online Work

Raechelle commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning concrete skills to reduce anxiety and manage panic. EFT concentrates on emotions within relationships and helps people improve connection and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Raechelle will work collaboratively to decide which methods match a person's goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That choice can shift as progress is made and new needs appear.

The practical benefits of working with a licensed professional online include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and keeping continuity when life is hectic.
