Rachel Roger, LCSW

Rachel Roger is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, eating concerns, depression, and other life disruptions. Rachel emphasizes that clients know their own stories and that their strengths matter in making change.

Rachel approaches therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people name what feels most urgent, then tries practical steps to reduce distress and improve daily life. Sessions focus on building skills and noticing patterns that get in the way of goals. She supports people through grief, trauma, and intimacy-related worries while addressing issues like sleep, self-esteem, anger, and caregiver stress.

Her background includes six years of professional practice in community and clinical settings around New York. Rachel uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage emotions and make behavior changes. She frames these tools in everyday language and adapts them to each person’s needs.

People also work with her on more specific concerns such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, body image, abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, and codependency. Rachel assists clients navigating major life changes, divorce or separation, and the complex effects of family of origin problems.

She aims to empower people to take small, steady steps toward the life they want. The work is practical, focused on what helps most in day-to-day living, and paced to fit each person’s comfort and goals.

How Rachel Uses CBT and DBT in Online Work

Rachel commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. It focuses on small experiments and practical steps that can change how someone feels day to day.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication. These skills are useful for managing intense feelings, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts exercises and pacing so the plan feels doable and relevant to real life.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or treatment for physical health conditions. It can also allow shorter check-ins, using audio-only when bandwidth is limited, or more flexible scheduling to help therapy fit into a busy week.
