About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and eating or body-image concerns. She presents a calm, straightforward approach and focuses on practical steps someone can use between sessions. Rachel emphasizes the client’s strengths and works with each person’s goals at a pace that feels manageable.
Rachel has six years of clinical experience based in New York as an LCSW. She aims to empower people who are ready to make changes and offers clear, goal-focused guidance. Conversations tend to be direct and supportive, with an emphasis on developing skills for day-to-day coping.
Her work often addresses grief, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and issues around identity and intimacy. She also helps people who are managing life changes, caregiving stress, or the fallout from separation and divorce. Coping after natural or human-caused disasters is one of the topics she lists among her focus areas.
Rachel uses practical methods to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts and build emotion-regulation skills. She encourages small experiments that test new ways of thinking and behaving. Sessions include clear tools for sleep, stress, and anger management when those concerns arise.
Clients can expect straightforward language and a collaborative tone. Rachel invites people to name what they want to change and then works with them to map out realistic next steps. The emphasis is on skill building, gradual progress, and drawing on each person’s existing strengths.
How Rachel Uses CBT and DBT in Online Work
Rachel often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts. CBT breaks concerns into manageable parts and offers step-by-step tools for anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating-related habits.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to teach emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. DBT-based techniques are useful when strong emotions, intense stress, or difficulties with impulsive behavior make everyday tasks harder.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking to match logistics to your needs. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that might otherwise prevent regular meetings. A therapist can suggest simple at-home exercises, sleep and stress-management tools, and short homework tasks that integrate into daily life without requiring long extra appointments.
