About Rachel

Rachel Cohen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with 10 years of clinical experience. As an LCSW she provides therapeutic support to individuals and families navigating a range of challenges including medical crises such as childhood cancer, eating and food-related concerns, and the emotional strains of caregiving. Her background includes several years working in the eating disorder field and time in private practice, which inform a practical, solution-oriented approach to care.

Rachel has a particular focus on supporting young parents as they adjust to parenthood, including addressing postpartum anxiety and depression, fertility challenges, and pregnancy or infant loss. She combines empathy with clear goals, helping clients build both internal coping skills and external supports to manage life transitions and ongoing stressors. Her work covers relationship issues, family dynamics, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy and body image concerns, as well as mood and attention-related difficulties like depression, bipolar symptoms, and ADHD.

Her style is collaborative and interactive; she creates a warm, positive atmosphere and partners with clients to set mutually agreed upon goals. While her practice is informed by past experience, Rachel emphasizes practical, real-time strategies that move clients toward meaningful change. She welcomes those ready to reach out for support and looks forward to working with individuals and families seeking growth and healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rachel Cohen integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice to address a wide range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathy, validation, and meeting people where they are so they feel heard and supported while exploring personal goals and values. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and coping with overwhelming situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rachel works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. Her style is interactive and goal-oriented, so treatment evolves through partnership between therapist and client.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Rachel, can adapt their approaches to work effectively across these formats while supporting clients toward practical, real-world change.
