About Rachel
Rachel Khan-McCroy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Rachel works with adults who want to understand how past relationships and experiences affect their present life.
She approaches sessions with a belief that each person knows their own story. Rachel uses client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness tools to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations are practical and skills-focused when useful, such as learning coping tools for intense emotions or strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts.
Rachel also addresses concerns that often connect to family background, including attachment issues, abandonment, and communication problems. She works with health-related challenges too, such as chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress, and body image worries. Treatment can include talking through how family roles and expectations still shape relationships and choices today.
Her prior work has included people facing complex losses, substance use, and palliative care settings, which informs how she supports grief and end-of-life concerns. She integrates approaches like the Gottman Method when relationship patterns are part of the focus. Rachel is based in New Jersey and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their priorities so they can direct the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation and managing intense reactions, often with short skills practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the person’s goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process can include mixing approaches, adjusting the focus, and tracking what helps over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or meeting without needing travel time. Online work can allow consistent weekly meetings and easier access when caregiving or health issues make leaving home difficult. Ask about session length and technical options when scheduling to match sessions to your routine.
