About Rachel

Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey who brings a decade of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, depression, grief, trauma, and ADHD among other issues.

Background and approach

Rachel has a background supporting individuals and families facing medical crises, including childhood cancer, and has significant experience in the eating disorder field and independent practice settings. Her work emphasizes collaboration and practical, solution-oriented strategies.

Rachel aims to build a warm, positive atmosphere where clients and therapist set shared goals and develop both internal skills and external supports. She is particularly attentive to the needs of new parents, offering support around postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility concerns, and pregnancy or infant loss.

Rachel blends varied therapeutic methods to meet each person where they are, drawing on approaches that range from skill-based interventions to explorations of life patterns and meaning. She encourages reaching out as an important first step and welcomes those who seek to work toward clearer goals and more manageable day-to-day functioning.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Rachel often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and creating a supportive environment where clients lead the pace of change; it is helpful for building self-understanding and strengthening coping resources. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to symptoms, offering concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, disordered eating patterns, and everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. Rachel partners with clients to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adapts techniques over time to match what is most helpful for the individual. Together they set goals and select strategies that feel practical and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access consistent care around busy schedules or during life transitions. These options allow clients to engage in skill practice, problem solving, and reflective work from the settings that suit them best while keeping the focus on meaningful progress and accessible support.
