About Rachael

Rachael Considine is a New York licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, and mood-related issues such as depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Background and approach

She also works with clients navigating identity and LGBT-related topics, gender dysphoria, obsessive-compulsive concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, ADHD, and other life transitions. Her practice emphasizes practical coping skills and collaborative problem solving.

Rachael views each person as the expert of their own story and draws on that perspective to build on existing strengths. She blends client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to tailor sessions to the needs and goals of each individual.

Her style is supportive and empowering, encouraging clients to take courageous steps toward meaningful change while learning tools to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Clients seeking guidance will find an approach that balances evidence-informed strategies with respect for personal experience and values.

Rachael aims to create a space where people can explore challenges, set achievable goals, and develop clearer pathways forward.

Approaches and Online Access to Care



Rachael often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills to change behaviors and reduce distress. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while they explore their own solutions. Mindfulness techniques are incorporated to build present-moment awareness and support emotion regulation when helpful.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rachael works together with each client to determine which methods best match their goals and preferences. This collaborative process includes setting clear aims, trying strategies in session, and adjusting the plan based on what proves most useful for daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible options for engaging in these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit consistent care into busy schedules, maintain momentum between sessions, and access support from wherever the client is located in New York.
