About Rachel
Rachel Khan-McCroy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey and New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Sessions focus on practical coping skills and clear goals rather than long explanations.
She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.
Her background includes work with people affected by incarceration, HIV/AIDS, substance use, palliative or end-of-life care, and veterans. She has supported people with PTSD, complex grief, bipolar disorder, postpartum mood concerns, disordered eating, and addiction. That range informs how she responds to complicated situations.
In sessions she emphasizes collaboration and reflection. She helps clients notice strengths and build small, practical coping strategies. Homework can include journaling, skills practice, or brief behavior experiments to test what helps.
Her style is straightforward and focused on day-to-day life. She will work with clients to set measurable goals and check progress each week. English is the language used in sessions, and she accepts international clients.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. The therapist listens, reflects what she hears, and helps clients decide what matters most. This approach supports people who need a steady, respectful collaborator while they sort things out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It breaks problems into concrete parts and uses small experiments or exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and behavior changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. These tools can be useful when emotions feel intense or when coping strategies are limited. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods match the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs evolve. Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk through scheduling, practical concerns, and how to use homework or skills practice between sessions to get the most from remote work.CAreas of focus
