About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with ten years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and life transitions. Rachel aims to create a warm, practical space where people can talk through immediate problems and set realistic goals.
She takes a collaborative and interactive approach in sessions. Conversations center on what matters most to the client. Rachel helps people break down challenges into small, doable steps and build supports they can use day to day.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with people coping with medical issues such as cancer and with eating and food-related concerns. She has also spent time working with new parents around postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility-related stress, and pregnancy or infant loss. That experience informs how she talks about grief, caregiver strain, and body image.
Rachel blends different ways of working to meet practical needs. She uses client-centered methods to listen deeply, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits, and skill-based strategies from dialectical behavior therapy when strong emotions become overwhelming. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she helps people find motivation and understand recurring patterns.
Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps. Rachel supports clients in building coping skills, improving communication, and managing work or family pressures. She encourages steady progress and practical changes that fit everyday life.
How Rachel blends proven approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist follows the client's lead and works together to set goals and priorities, making sessions feel collaborative and respectful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships, which can help when stress or strong feelings get in the way.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options and tailor methods to match the client's goals, needs, and preferences. She aims to be flexible and will adjust strategies as progress is made, so collaboration guides the path forward.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to meet. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction while staying in their own neighborhood. Phone sessions can be a simpler option with less bandwidth and no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for short check-ins, quick coping suggestions, or when a written format fits someone’s routine. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
