About Rachel

Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with ten years of experience supporting people through hard life moments. She focuses on practical steps and calm conversation to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and changes like becoming a parent.

Her work often centers on parenting challenges, including postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility concerns, and pregnancy or infant loss. She has experience with medical-related stress, including childhood cancer, and has worked in the eating disorder field and independent practice settings.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and interactive. She helps clients set clear goals and focuses on real-time solutions that build both internal skills and outside supports. She uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs rather than a single rigid method.

Her toolkit includes client-centered work that emphasizes listening and respect, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and skills-based strategies drawn from dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she explores patterns and motivation. Rachel aims to create a warm, positive atmosphere where people can talk honestly and try small changes that make life easier.

She works with adults in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support

How Rachel’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered work means listening first and following the client’s lead to find what matters most. It helps when someone needs respectful, nonjudgmental time to talk about parenting, grief, or life change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, eating-related concerns, and sleep problems by teaching concrete coping tools and changing daily habits.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful in sessions and between meetings.

Online therapy makes those same approaches easier to fit into real life. Video calls let people see facial expressions and use visual tools, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can help maintain momentum between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy parents, people juggling work and medical care, or anyone who needs a simpler way to connect with a licensed professional.
