About Rachel
Rachel Schwartz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in New York, with nine years of professional experience. She helps people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Rachel also addresses compassion fatigue and workplace stress.
Rachel keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens for the problems that are making daily life harder. Then she works with each person to set clear goals and small steps toward them. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change next week.
Her approach is straightforward and grounded in everyday concerns. She talks through feelings of guilt, shame, and loss alongside issues like control and communication difficulties. Rachel also helps people reconnect to motivation and self-love after painful experiences.
Clients can expect an orderly process that values clarity. Rachel asks about routines, relationships, and work to understand how problems play out day to day. From there she suggests techniques and practices that can be tried between sessions.
She offers sessions in English and Hebrew for people in the New York area. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees that vary by location.
BHow sessions work
How therapeutic methods and online sessions work together
Rachel works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she uses emphasizes processing traumatic memories in manageable pieces so a person can reduce distress and regain routine functioning; this approach helps when past events continue to disrupt day-to-day life. Another frequent focus is grief work, which involves naming specific losses, tracking moments of intense emotion, and trying out coping strategies between sessions to rebuild daily rhythms. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist and client review current problems, goals, and preferences and then try interventions that fit those aims. Methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed so sessions stay useful and relevant. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since they are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. Some formats also let people do shorter check-ins when time is tight or avoid video when bandwidth or energy is limited. Talk with the therapist during the matching process to learn which practical arrangements will best fit your routine.CAreas of focus
