About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, eating and sleeping issues, and adjustment to major life changes.
She has worked with individuals and families facing medical problems, including childhood cancer, and has several years of experience in the eating disorder field. Her background includes private practice work and focused support for new parents. That work covers postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility challenges, and pregnancy and infant loss.
Her way of working is collaborative and interactive. Sessions are aimed at practical goals the client and she agree on. She draws on Client-Centered Therapy and other approaches to find what works in real time and to build supports people can use outside sessions.
Rachel also uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when they fit a person's needs. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas inform how she explores patterns and motivation over time.
People can expect straightforward conversation about current problems and small step plans to address them. She focuses on clear goals, coping skills, and strengthening supports at home and work. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Rachel integrates approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings in the moment, helping them shape goals that feel achievable. It is useful for support around life transitions, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and breaks them into steps you can change. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating-related issues where practical skills and small experiments make a difference.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. It can be used alongside other methods when mood regulation or strong reactions are present.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation happens in early sessions and is revisited as progress is made.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so they match your routine and technology. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare, or medical appointments, and different formats may suit quieter check-ins, shorter follow-ups, or longer conversations. Discuss scheduling needs and practical preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire and plan the first session.
