About Rachel
Rachel Trudell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 11 years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma. Her practice also covers issues like panic, self-esteem, and life transitions such as divorce and grief.
She uses a collaborative style that focuses on practical steps people can take day to day. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning skills to manage overwhelming feelings, and identifying patterns that keep someone stuck. Rachel respects clients' values and can incorporate faith-informed viewpoints when that fits.
Rachel helps people who feel isolated, ashamed, or overwhelmed to reconnect with everyday life. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and patterns of impulsivity. Work can involve setting small behavior goals, practicing emotion regulation, and improving interactions with others.
Her approach emphasizes clear goals and steady progress rather than long, open-ended exploration. Clients commonly address social anxiety, panic attacks, and mood concerns with focused strategies. She also supports people working through forgiveness, guilt, and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are grounded in real-life needs like work, family, and finances. Rachel encourages practical problem-solving alongside emotional work. To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a first session through the site.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Rachel draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma, and mood concerns. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns by practicing new responses and testing small changes in daily life; it is useful for panic, social anxiety, and low mood. Another approach focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact through gradual, supported exposure and skill practice; this can help with post-traumatic stress and lingering trauma symptoms.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. Rachel will discuss options with each person, weigh their goals and preferences, and adjust techniques as work progresses. The plan is developed together and revisited as needed to keep it practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefits of online work are easier fit with busy schedules, fewer travel interruptions, and the ability to check in from a convenient location. Some online formats also make it simple to have shorter check-ins during a workday or to avoid being on camera for some sessions. Speak with Rachel during the matching process to confirm which formats she is offering and how sessions can fit into your routine.
