About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with six years of professional experience. She sees adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strains, eating concerns, depression, parenting pressures, grief, trauma and related issues. She also works with people facing intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, anger, and challenges tied to ADHD and bipolar disorder.
Rachel treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She uses clear, practical conversation to identify what is getting in the way and which steps could help. Sessions focus on skills and actions that feel manageable between meetings.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, practice new coping skills, and build routines that support daily functioning. For eating and body-image concerns she combines skill-based work with attention to underlying feelings and relationship patterns.
Rachel also addresses family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment themes, codependency, and communication problems. She helps people sort through guilt, shame, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Practical problem solving is balanced with attention to emotion regulation and pacing.
Clients can expect straightforward talk about goals and steps to try between sessions. Rachel encourages small experiments in daily life, then reviews what helped and what needs adjusting. This keeps work focused and doable for people juggling parenting, work, and other demands.
How sessions work
How CBT and DBT shape online sessions
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) approaches. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems by teaching practical tools to test and shift patterns.DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often helpful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts get in the way of daily life. DBT skills can provide concrete steps to reduce reactivity and improve interactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will discuss options with each person and choose methods together based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps match skills and practice to what fits someone’s life and priorities.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not specified here. Ask which session types are offered and how they schedule appointments. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and busy days - for example a shorter check-in during a break or a video meeting that avoids travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques used in person to remote sessions so tools and homework remain practical and actionable.
