About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at finding workable steps forward.
She creates a warm, positive space where clients set clear goals and try things that actually help day to day. Rachel has spent time supporting people facing medical crises, including childhood cancer, and has years of experience in the eating disorder field.
Background and approach
She has also worked in independent practice and has a special interest in helping new parents adjust to parenthood. That includes supporting people through postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility challenges, and pregnancy or infant loss. In sessions she blends client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy.
She also draws on motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the client’s needs. The focus is on practical skills, clearer communication, and building supports at home and work. Sessions can cover relationship strain, family of origin issues, blended family dynamics, body image, career stress, grief, and complications from trauma or abuse.
She also helps with eating and sleeping problems, ADHD-related struggles, bipolar concerns, and caregiver fatigue. Her style is interactive and goal-focused. Clients collaborate on what to work on and try strategies in-session and between meetings.
Rachel aims to help people gain more stability, better routines, and clearer next steps.
How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy means Rachel starts by listening and following the client’s lead. The aim is to understand what matters to the person and build on their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and routines that worsen stress, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will discuss goals, try different tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find strategies that fit daily life and produce small wins over time.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues and face-to-face discussion matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or fitting support into a busy day. These options aim to make it easier to stick with work between sessions and build steady routines.
