About Rachael
Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports people coping with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, and life changes. Rachael works from New York and draws on six years of clinical experience to guide conversations toward practical steps.
Rachael believes each person knows their own story best. She centers sessions on what matters to the individual and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
The work often begins with simple goals and small, doable changes that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Her approach mixes client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. That means Rachael listens closely, helps people notice thinking patterns, and practices attention and breathing strategies to calm intense feelings.
She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when helpful. These methods support people who are ready to make changes or who want to rewrite how they think about difficult experiences. Sessions focus on clear steps and on identifying what feels achievable.
Rachael aims for a warm, direct style. Conversations are practical and grounded, with space to process emotions and plan for next steps. She encourages people to try different strategies and to adjust the plan as needed.

Approaches you can use online
Rachael commonly combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and on helping people lead sessions with their own priorities, which is useful for building trust and identifying what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them, which helps with anxiety, anger, and mood issues. Mindfulness therapy trains attention and simple practices like breathing or body awareness to reduce reactivity and soothe intense feelings.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Rachael will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan so the work fits day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and guided exercises. Phone sessions can fit brief check-ins or times with limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging offer short, ongoing contact and reminders between sessions. These options make it easier to work around busy schedules, manage changes in energy, and practice skills in real situations.
