Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Rachel LaVergne

Rachel uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and explore what matters most to them. This approach helps people strengthen self-esteem and build confidence by honoring their values and pace of change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skills-based, often used for stress, anxiety, and social anxiety to reduce patterns that maintain distress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be helpful when intense emotions, shame, or relationship difficulties interfere with daily life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable for the individual.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home or during breaks, maintain continuity of care, and access support in ways that fit daily life while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
