How these approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person's perspective and following their priorities. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps set goals that feel meaningful. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and notice patterns of thought; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will help you decide which methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as you try techniques and see what helps.
