Common MBCT techniques
Recognizing “autopilot”
Helps patients recognize automatic reactions so they can respond to thoughts and emotions more intentionally.
Body scan
Guides attention to different areas of the body to notice any physical sensations without judgment.
Mindful breath
Teaches patients to focus on the breath as a way to ground themselves in the present moment.
Acceptance and “letting be”
Encourages patients to acknowledge and accept discomfort, rather than trying to push away or control it.
Decentering
Helps patients see thoughts as fleeting mental events rather than absolute truths.
Millions of successful sessions and counting.

Getting started
There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.
Research shows that the combination of talk therapy and prescription medications can result in significantly better outcomes in the treatment of many common conditions. Whether you start with therapy, psychiatry, or both, Rula makes it easy to expand your care team.

Psychiatric providers are able to prescribe a majority of FDA-approved psychiatric medications, with limited exceptions. For example, they are not able to prescribe certain experimental treatments such as ketamine. Certain stimulants are also subject to additional state-level regulations.
During your initial visit, you’ll meet with a licensed psychiatric provider over live video to discuss your medical history, individual concerns and goals for treatment. Initial intake appointments typically last an hour, and your provider will use the information provided in your first session to create a personalized treatment plan.
