Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing helps people find the will to change habits tied to addiction or other behaviors. With nine years of experience, Racheal has worked with people facing grief, trauma, bipolar concerns, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and life transitions. She also addresses communication breakdowns, forgiveness, intimacy-related issues, and ADHD-related struggles.

Her Nevada license is listed as LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In sessions she listens first and then helps people practice new skills. Expect straightforward conversations and homework that fits into everyday life.

Racheal aims for steady progress rather than quick fixes. She provides help through a variety of session types, including video calls and phone or text options. People in Nevada who prefer to work in English can find an approach that matches their needs and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding your experience and priorities. The therapist listens without judgment and helps you set goals that matter to you, so online sessions follow the same client-guided process as in-person work.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect. In online sessions this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new coping strategies between appointments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. It is useful when feelings feel overwhelming and can be taught through coaching, skills practice, and short check-ins in remote formats.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean starting with client-centered conversations, adding CBT tasks, or focusing on DBT skills depending on progress.

Online formats here include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and practice work. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in more frequently or use short updates between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
