About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, eating issues, depression, and life changes. She also addresses concerns related to family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment, and challenges like grief, sleep problems, and self-esteem.
Rachel sees therapy as a collaborative effort. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-focused, with space to notice patterns coming from earlier family experiences.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to build workable alternatives. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance when needed. These approaches are used to address a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and mood symptoms to difficulties with boundaries and communication.
Sessions explore how early family roles and expectations continue to affect current relationships and daily choices. Work often includes skills practice, communication strategies, and tracking small changes over time. Rachel also helps people address overlap between mental health and life demands such as caregiving, work stress, or health challenges.
Her style is direct and pragmatic. The focus is on clear steps clients can try between appointments and on noticing what works in everyday life. People who want concise, skills-based sessions that look at how family roots influence present behavior may find this approach useful.
How CBT and DBT inform online work
CBT helps people notice patterns in thoughts and behaviors and then practice different actions to change how they feel. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problems with self-esteem. DBT teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, relationship conflict, and emotional overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Rachel will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed rather than committing to a single method up front.
Confirm current session options before booking since specific online formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time and make it possible to schedule appointments around work or caregiving. Some formats also allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed or offer options that do not require constant video. Ask about available arrangements when scheduling so sessions fit practical needs.
