Therapeutic approaches and online support
Rachael Foote draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and unconditional regard so the client can explore their experience and build self-understanding; it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through practical strategies and exercises, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and many stress-related difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is also used when clients are ambivalent about change - it helps clarify personal motivation and strengthen commitment to goals, which is useful for addictions and behaviour change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rachael collaborates with each person to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This makes therapy a shared process rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow live conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or more frequent contact between sessions. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change.
