About Rachel

Rachel Roger is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical help for people feeling overwhelmed. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, eating and relationship concerns, and other challenges that affect daily life. Parents and caregivers often reach out about parenting strain, family tensions, or sleep and eating struggles.

Rachel speaks English and practices in New York. She uses straightforward methods that aim to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns that keep problems going and tests new ways of thinking. Rachel also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings. In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Goals are practical and based on what the person wants to change first. Work often includes skill-building, small experiments to try between sessions, and talking through difficult moments to find better responses. Her background includes six years of clinical experience working with issues such as trauma, grief, intimacy and self-esteem concerns, as well as complex problems like codependency and attachment wounds.

She also addresses caregiver stress, cancer-related impacts, and co-occurring conditions. Rachel holds a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential - LCSW 094361. She supports people exploring coping strategies, relationship patterns, and clearer ways to manage mood and stress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. Online CBT sessions often include setting small homework tasks, tracking thoughts or behaviors between sessions, and practicing brief experiments to see what changes. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and eating-related patterns.

DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. In virtual sessions this can mean guided skill practice, role-play exercises over video or chat, and step-by-step coaching on grounding or breathing techniques. It can help with overwhelming feelings, anger, and self-talk that gets in the way.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and may combine CBT and DBT skills to match specific needs. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let you work face-to-face from home, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit skill practice and consistent sessions into real life.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
