How Raechelle’s Methods Work Online

Raechelle uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and panic attacks. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used to identify emotional patterns and improve connection in close relationships. The Gottman Method provides practical skills for managing conflict and improving communication between partners.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Raechelle will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before to choose or combine methods. Together the therapist and client check in and adjust the plan as needed so the work matches real life demands.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls are helpful for deeper conversational work and observing interactions, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep continuity in care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
