Therapeutic approaches useful for online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with depression, anxiety and sleep or eating difficulties.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy emphasises emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better interpersonal skills. It can be helpful for intense emotions, anger and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you prefer online sessions note that Rachel has experience delivering remote and telephone therapy. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time so work and family commitments are easier to manage.
