About Rachel
Rachel Roger is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship strain, and related concerns. Rachel helps people who are coping with life changes, grief, eating issues, and challenges tied to identity and family history.
She treats anger as one of several things that can make daily life harder. Sessions focus on practical patterns - what triggers a strong reaction, how the body and thoughts respond, and what small changes can reduce escalation. Rachel uses straightforward skills work and conversation to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches specific skills for emotion regulation and managing intense moments. She aims to teach tools that can be practiced between sessions so people can test what helps in real situations.
Rachel emphasizes collaboration; she treats the person as the expert on their own life and asks questions to shape practical steps. She also works with issues linked to attachment, body image, caregiver stress, and sleep problems when they relate to a person's current concerns.
People who want clear strategies and a down-to-earth conversation about anger and related struggles will find a concise, skills-based orientation in her work.
How CBT and DBT translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions this looks like identifying unhelpful thought patterns, testing new beliefs, and practicing different behaviors to see what changes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and daily stressors.DBT emphasizes skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication. Online work typically teaches concrete skills like grounding, paced breathing, and phrasing for difficult conversations that can be tried between appointments. These skills aim to reduce intense reactions and improve steadier responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies based on what proves helpful. The process is practical and iterative rather than fixed.
The site notes session arrangements separately, so confirm current online formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let someone practice skills in real-life settings between meetings, then bring observations back to the therapist for refinement.
