About Rachael
Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, trauma, and mood concerns. She works with those coping with self-esteem issues, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and identity matters such as gender dysphoria and LGBT concerns. Her approach centers on listening and building on each person's strengths.
Rachael believes people know their own stories and brings a respectful, collaborative style to sessions.
Background and approach
She focuses on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon. Clients can expect a conversational tone and guidance that fits their life circumstances. Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy.
That mix lets her help people shift unhelpful thoughts, build new habits, and reframe difficult experiences. She tailors techniques to what each person finds useful. Rachael values small, achievable changes.
Sessions may include skill-building for stress and sleep, strategies for mood management, and ways to handle parenting pressures. She also supports people working through grief or trauma at a pace that feels manageable. With six years of professional experience as an LMHC, Rachael practices in New York and offers several online formats.
She aims to make starting therapy straightforward and to help people take steady steps toward clearer coping and better day-to-day functioning.

Approaches used online and why they help
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's experience without judgment and helping them find their own solutions; it is useful for building confidence and clarifying goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep troubles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then try methods and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's day-to-day life and parenting concerns.
Online therapy offers several practical options: video calls let people use face-to-face time for deeper conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits the schedule, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter, flexible check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue progress when in-person visits are not possible.
