Rachel Roger , LCSW

Rachel Roger is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, eating concerns, depression, and relationship struggles. She works with people navigating grief, trauma, identity and LGBT questions, parenting strain, and career stress. Rachel writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard while they make changes.

Rachel takes a collaborative approach. She treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, body image and disordered eating patterns, and the emotional toll of caregiving and cancer-related concerns. She supports people dealing with dissociation, sleep problems, anger, and guilt or shame that get in the way of daily living.

Rachel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people develop coping tools, manage intense emotions, and change unhelpful patterns. Those methods are used in straightforward exercises, thought tracking, and skills practice rather than long lectures.

With six years of practice in New York, Rachel blends real-world experience with a calm, practical style. She aims to make therapy accessible and useful, helping people take manageable steps toward the life they want.

Using CBT and DBT Online to Build Practical Skills

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and slowly test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships and boundaries are a challenge.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Rachel will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to your needs so skills are learned and applied in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, practicing skills, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy schedule and to use skills where they matter most.
