About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, eating and body image concerns, mood changes, and life transitions. Rachel writes plainly and aims to make therapy feel like a practical conversation.
She approaches sessions as a partnership, treating each person as the expert on their own life. Rachel helps clients identify strengths and small changes that can reduce distress.
Background and approach
She encourages realistic steps and practices that fit daily routines. Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and coping strategies.
These methods are chosen to match a person's goals, not to force a single way of working. Over six years of practice in New York have given her experience with a broad range of issues. These include trauma, grief, parenting stress, workplace strain, ADHD, and complications like co-morbid conditions.
She also offers support around intimacy, attachment and abandonment concerns. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete tools. Rachel helps people set short-term goals and build habits that support longer term changes.
She aims to make therapy manageable, understandable, and relevant to everyday life.
How CBT and DBT translate to online care
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often involve tracking patterns, testing small experiments between meetings, and practicing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT-style work focuses on practical skills you can use during strong feelings or relationship conflict.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options, adjusts techniques over time, and sets measurable steps so clients can see progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill demonstrations, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when hands-free time is needed, and chat or text can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or busy days while keeping sessions practical and goal focused.
