Rachel Cohen

Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with ten years of experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, anger, grief, relationship strain, or shifts in life like parenthood and career change. Her tone is collaborative and warm, aimed at making the first step feel manageable.

She has worked with people facing medical challenges, including childhood cancer, and has several years of experience in the eating disorder field and private practice. Rachel often supports new parents adjusting to life with an infant, including coping with postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility issues, and pregnancy or infant loss.

Rachel uses a practical, interactive style. She and the person she sees set clear, mutual goals and work together toward solutions. Sessions focus on building supports and learning skills that can be used in day-to-day life.

Her approach draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas. She blends these to match the person’s needs rather than sticking to a single method.

People who reach out can expect a direct but supportive conversation about next steps. Rachel encourages asking questions about goals and fits before starting work together.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and shaping goals together; it helps when someone wants support that reflects their own values and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with anxiety, depression, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, includes practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for people who need emotion regulation tools.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will talk with the person about problems, goals, and preferences, and then recommend techniques that fit. She adapts methods as needs change, so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online work can make regular check-ins easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent meetings when useful. Many people find online sessions help them apply new skills directly to daily life and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
