Dr Rachel Eby

Psychologist

“I'm a psychologist from the US, with a PhD from an American Psychological Association accredited doctoral program. I provide effective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to English speaking expats online in the Netherlands. My approach is strongly focused on deep empathy and practical tools to get powerful results!”

About Me

I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to English-speaking expats in the Netherlands. My approach blends deep empathy with practical tools. I help you navigate the unique challenges of living abroad. We work together to understand and shift unhelpful patterns, providing clear, actionable steps. This leads to powerful results, helping you feel more grounded and resilient in your new environment.

Approach

To get those results, I blend gentle curiosity with targeted skill practice so therapy feels both safe and purposeful. Working online from the Netherlands in English, sessions are steady, focused collaborations where we set concrete goals and try small experiments together. Between appointments you’ll practice brief mindfulness checks, behavioral experiments, and values-based choices to shift stuck patterns into manageable steps. This way of working tends to help adults navigating transitions, anxiety, or motivation struggles who want practical change paired with genuine understanding.
