More about Rachel
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 9 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked in various settings including community mental health centers, primary care/pain management clinics, homeless shelters and outpatient substance use treatment facilities. I received my master's degree in Social Work in 2012 from Long Island University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and PTSD . I have also helped many people who have experienced grief and loss and who struggle with chronic pain conditions and debilitating medical concerns. Further, I have experience working with people to develop and implement proactive, assertive communication styles to help them grow and maintain healthy interpersonal relationships.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in using labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and ACT counseling. I also strongly believe in the power of mindfulness exercises in re-shaping our brains. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
