About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of practice in New York. She focuses on supporting people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or parenting challenges. Her approach is straightforward and practical, so busy parents can find manageable steps to feel steadier day to day.
Rachel centers sessions on the person in front of her. She treats clients as the expert in their own life and helps them use existing strengths to move past what is holding them back.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and aimed at small changes that add up over time. She often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. Skills drawn from dialectical behavior therapy can help when emotions feel intense or when coping feels out of reach.
Rachel blends these methods to match each person’s needs rather than following a script. Typical concerns she helps with include grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image issues, anger, sleep problems, and career stress. She also supports people navigating attachment or abandonment wounds and the ripple effects of family of origin issues.
Sessions are meant to be collaborative and practical. Rachel aims to teach skills that fit into a busy life and to create a plan that can be used between appointments. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on real-world results.

How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
Rachel uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that reinforce worry or avoidance.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for stronger emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming, when boundaries are needed, or when coping strategies have become worn out.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your life. Plans evolve as you try strategies and notice what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill teaching and role play. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging let clients share updates or practice new skills between sessions and can fit into a busy day more easily.
