Rachel Roger, LCSW

Rachel Roger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, eating and food-related issues, depression, and life transitions. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

She frames clients as the experts on their own lives and focuses on practical steps. Sessions are aimed at identifying patterns that cause distress and building specific skills to manage them. That can mean breaking down worrisome thoughts, trying new ways to handle conflict, or developing routines that improve sleep and daily functioning.

Rachel uses approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods guide focused work on thoughts, behaviors, emotion regulation, and coping strategies. The work is straightforward and skill-based rather than abstract.

Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, body image and eating concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, dissociation, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and co-morbid conditions. She integrates attention to these areas into goal-oriented sessions.

Clients can expect clear discussion of practical steps and homework between meetings when that supports progress. Rachel aims to help people identify manageable changes and use them to reduce distress and improve daily life.
