About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with ten years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, or the effects of trauma and loss. Rachel writes plainly, listens closely, and works with clients to set clear, manageable goals.
Her approach is collaborative and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She draws on several methods, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to address emotional regulation and coping. Rachel has spent time supporting people through medical challenges, including childhood cancer in families, and has experience in the eating disorder field.
She also has a particular interest in helping new parents navigate post-partum anxiety and depression, fertility stress, and pregnancy or infant loss. These experiences inform how she shapes treatment plans and supports coping strategies. In therapy she helps clients build both internal skills and external supports.
That can mean practicing small behavior changes, trying new ways to communicate, or developing routines that improve sleep and eating. The goal is to leave sessions with tools that can be used between meetings. Rachel offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
She works with clients in English and provides care to people within New Jersey. Getting started begins with a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own perspective and strengths. The therapist listens closely, reflects what they hear, and helps clients set goals that matter to them; this is useful for building confidence and clearer self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new actions, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when tensions rise.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time and checking in about what helps and what doesn't.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, mood tracking, and between-session coaching. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, childcare, and medical appointments.
