Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Rachel Giles uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as key elements of her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic space where the client’s perspective guides the work and personal growth is encouraged through understanding and support. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also integrates mindfulness therapy, which teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best. Together they explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods over time so the work stays relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Rachel includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities.
