Practical Approaches, Flexible Online Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and practice new ways of responding, which can be useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, addiction-related struggles, and anger management.Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes learning to notice thoughts and emotions without getting overwhelmed by them. By building present-moment awareness, clients can strengthen coping skills and create more space to choose how they respond, especially during periods of high stress or major life changes.
Solution-Focused Therapy keeps the work oriented toward goals, strengths, and practical next steps. Rather than spending all the time on what is wrong, sessions focus on what is working, what matters most, and what small changes can move life forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kristi Rachal works collaboratively, helping clients clarify their goals and preferences and then shaping sessions around what feels most helpful and sustainable.
Online therapy makes it easier to get support in a format that fits real life. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between sessions.
