About Rachel

Rachel Roger is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with six years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, and depression.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process that builds on each person's existing strengths while addressing painful patterns such as attachment wounds, codependency, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges with self-esteem and body image. Rachel emphasizes practical change alongside emotional insight, inviting clients to take steps toward a more satisfying and manageable life.

Her work integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to offer clear, skill-based tools for coping, emotion regulation, and communication. Rachel also supports clients facing career strain, parenting and caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, bipolar-related concerns, and complex presentations involving co-morbidity or dissociation.

She approaches each case with attention to individual goals, helping people identify options and practice strategies that fit their daily lives.

Practical therapy approaches for online support

Rachel integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into online work in ways that focus on skills people can use between sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured techniques like behavioral experiments, thought records, and problem-solving strategies to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing conflict.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore what feels most useful based on their goals, preferences, and daily life, adjusting methods and pacing so the work fits each person's needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

The online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and make it possible to access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to offer ongoing skills practice, check-ins, and support that fit varied routines and life demands.
