About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker with a decade of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and a wide range of life changes. Her work also covers grief, trauma and abuse, body image and eating concerns, and issues related to fertility and cancer.
She has direct experience supporting parents adjusting to early parenthood, including postpartum anxiety and depression and pregnancy or infant loss. Rachel has also worked in eating disorder care and with people coping with medical challenges, including childhood cancer. Her background includes private practice work in New Jersey.
Rachel uses a collaborative and interactive style in sessions. She frames therapy around goals that the client and she agree on, and she focuses on practical steps that can be used right away. That might mean building new skills, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, or strengthening supports at home and work.
Her approach draws on several methods, including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic thinking. She adapts tools to what each person needs rather than following a single script.
People who choose Rachel work together with her to set priorities and track small changes. She aims to create a warm, hopeful atmosphere where problems are broken into manageable steps and progress is measured in everyday life.
How Rachel’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s goals guide the work; it helps when people want a supportive space to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches clear skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills that are useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and checking whether they feel useful in everyday life.
Confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that helps maintain momentum. It can also make skill practice between sessions more practical by placing tools immediately into daily routines. Discussing format and scheduling happens during the initial matching and planning steps so sessions match each person’s life and goals.
