About Rachel
Rachel Kriegel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with over 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, motivation and self-esteem issues, career challenges, and transitions in life.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses therapies such as cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to identify small, workable changes. Sessions are a place to talk through current problems and build clear steps forward.
Rachel often helps people who are dealing with relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness, isolation or shame, and the practical strains of caregiving or chronic health concerns. She also brings experience with adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric topics, autism spectrum concerns, and commitment or communication problems.
In sessions she focuses on concrete goals like reducing anxiety, strengthening confidence, improving communication, or managing life transitions. The work typically combines examining unhelpful thoughts, boosting motivation for change, and setting short-term, achievable plans.
Clients who choose her can expect a direct, goal-oriented style. Rachel aims to collaborate on realistic steps people can try between meetings and to adjust the plan based on what helps. She practices as an LCSW in New Jersey and conducts her clinical work from that base.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Rachel uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often focuses on specific patterns that increase anxiety or lower confidence and then builds practical steps to change them.She also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify their priorities and increase readiness to change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin shifting habits. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses to set short-term goals and recognize what already works, which can speed early progress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, current challenges, and personal preferences to recommend approaches that fit. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about what formats are currently offered and how they fit into daily life. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
