About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, parenting strains, eating and sleeping concerns, grief, trauma and other life changes.
Rachel has worked with people affected by medical issues, including childhood cancer, and spent several years in the eating disorder field. She also has private practice experience and a focus on helping new parents adjust to parenthood. That includes support for postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility concerns, and pregnancy or infant loss.
Her style is collaborative and interactive. Sessions focus on clear, agreed-upon goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Rachel combines listening with concrete strategies so people leave with specific skills to manage stress and strong emotions like anger.
She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. Rachel uses client-centered techniques to prioritize the person's perspective, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation skills.
In sessions she works toward real-time solutions and building supports both inside and outside therapy. Many people come for help with communication problems, intimacy-related issues, workplace frustration, or ongoing low mood. Rachel encourages straightforward planning and regular check-ins on progress.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in New Jersey. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the site's matching and scheduling steps.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy places the person's perspective at the center. The therapist listens closely and helps people clarify goals and priorities, which can make sessions feel focused and relevant. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward skills to change patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques together to see what fits best. That collaborative testing helps shape a plan that addresses immediate problems and builds long-term coping skills.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins between in-person appointments, or avoid travel time. It also lets people practice communication and emotion-regulation skills in the settings where difficulties tend to happen. If a particular session format matters to you, check the platform's scheduling information when you complete the matching questionnaire.
