Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rachel Andrews uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental environment where the client leads conversations and the therapist reflects and supports personal growth - it can be helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships and processing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors and manage symptoms, which can support work on anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachel works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best. She and the client explore needs, goals and personal preferences and adapt the methods used over time so the work stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule appointments around daily life and access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to provide regular, consistent care in ways that suit each person’s routine and communication style.
