Rachael Considine, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Rachael

Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with six years of clinical experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, parenting concerns, and issues such as ADHD, depression, and sleep problems. She also works with clients facing identity questions, including gender dysphoria, and struggles like OCD and seasonal affective disorder.

Rachael keeps sessions direct and grounded. She begins by listening to a person’s story and identifying immediate priorities.

Background and approach

Then she helps set small, clear goals and practices skills that can be used between meetings. The approach emphasizes the client’s strengths and choices rather than one-size-fits-all answers. Her work draws on client-centered methods to respect each person’s perspective.

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are added when slowing down and noticing the present moment will help reduce reactivity. Rachael also brings narrative ideas to help people reframe life events and motivational interviewing to support commitment to change.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort. She aims to make the process practical and manageable for busy lives. Rachael practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.

Online approaches that fit a busy family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, helping them name priorities and use their own strengths to move forward. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through parenting concerns or life changes.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical steps to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease low mood. Mindfulness work is sometimes used alongside CBT to build awareness and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is a process. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try strategies, adjust what does not fit, and focus on what helps most in daily life.

Online sessions make this work flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer simplicity, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These formats help people balance therapy with family schedules and other commitments.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
