About Rachel
Rachel Cohen is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with 10 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or upset by life changes and relationships. Rachel works with issues like stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and challenges around parenting and eating.
She aims to make the first step straightforward and approachable. Her practice blends practical skill-building with open conversation. Sessions are collaborative - Rachel listens first, then helps clients set clear, realistic goals.
Background and approach
She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to spot patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work grounded in each person’s values. Rachel has experience supporting people facing medical and caregiving stress, including those affected by cancer, and has worked in the eating disorder field.
That background shapes how she handles health-related anxieties and the ripple effects on relationships and daily routines. She also supports people dealing with fertility challenges, pregnancy or infant loss, and the emotional fallout of major life transitions. Her sessions aim to strengthen internal coping and build external supports.
She offers practical strategies for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and restoring routine sleep and eating patterns. Rachel keeps the work focused on what will help now, while also exploring deeper patterns when helpful. Reaching out can feel hard.
Rachel meets people where they are and works together to find workable steps forward.

Approach-focused care for online sessions
Rachel combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to address everyday struggles. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and meeting each person where they are, which helps people facing stress, relationship problems, or parenting strain feel heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which is helpful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right method is part of the work. Rachel treats it as a collaborative process and will try different strategies to see what fits a client's goals, needs, and preferences. She discusses options and adjusts techniques so the sessions meet what matters most to the person in front of her.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging provide shorter check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reach a therapist from anywhere in New Jersey, and choose the style that best supports progress.
