About Rachael

Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, and parenting challenges. She works with anyone managing relationship strain, sleep problems, depression, ADHD, or the effects of trauma and abuse. Rachael also offers support around gender dysphoria, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, and seasonal mood changes.

She frames clients as the experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps forward. The aim is to make changes feel doable rather than overwhelming. Rachael encourages small, steady progress and honest conversation about what’s working and what isn’t.

Rachael uses a mix of approachable methods to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Mindfulness practices bring attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity. Client-centered work keeps the sessions grounded in each person’s values and choices.

Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then offers tools and experiments to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to clarify goals and find their reasons for change. Narrative therapy can help reframe painful experiences and connect to personal meaning.

With six years of experience as an LMHC, Rachael supports people through life transitions and ongoing struggles. She welcomes questions about approach and what a first session looks like. To begin, follow the site’s process to match and schedule.

How Rachael Uses Practical Approaches Online

Rachael draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person's priorities and values. That means sessions start with listening and reflecting so goals come from the client rather than a checklist. It suits people who need a supportive setting to sort out what matters most.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down difficult thoughts and habits into workable steps. CBT focuses on noticing patterns, testing new behaviors, and building skills that reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood over time. Mindfulness techniques are sometimes added to help calm reactivity and improve focus in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are set by the practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where challenges actually happen, then talk through what did and didn’t work at the next appointment.
