About Rachel

Rachel Roger is an LCSW based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating and mood concerns. She works with people who are coping with life changes, grief, trauma, or challenges with sleep, focus, and self-esteem. Rachel emphasizes practical support and steady partnership during difficult moments.

She approaches therapy from the view that each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on building skills that can be used between meetings and on small, manageable steps toward change. Rachel aims to make the process clear and approachable so people can try strategies without feeling overwhelmed.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which offers tools for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. These methods are used to address things like anxiety, compulsive eating patterns, anger, and trouble sleeping.

Clients can expect a supportive space to talk through immediate concerns and plan realistic goals. Rachel will collaborate on coping techniques, communication skills, and ways to reduce daily stress. She also helps people sort through attachment and abandonment issues, body image struggles, and care-related stress.

Over six years of practice, Rachel has worked with people facing complex and overlapping issues, including ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. She focuses on clear, stepwise work that fits into busy lives and honors each person’s strengths.

How CBT and DBT Translate to Online Work

Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It offers concrete tools for handling intense feelings and improving communication in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches strategies for shifting unhelpful thinking patterns to change behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, DBT, or a mix fits their needs and goals. She tailors techniques to what a client prefers and what feels most useful in day-to-day life.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also allow for shorter focused check-ins when bandwidth is limited. A therapist and client will agree together on session length and pacing so the work matches daily routines and goals.
