About Rachael
Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, and self-esteem concerns. She also supports people facing relationship and family strain, sleeping difficulties, anger, depression, ADHD, and issues related to gender dysphoria, obsessions and compulsions, and seasonal affective disorder. She speaks English and brings six years of clinical experience to her work.
Rachael approaches therapy assuming people already have strengths to build on. She uses client-centered conversation to hear each person’s story and to help them set their own goals. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what the person needs in the moment.
Her tools include motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. Narrative methods help people reframe difficult memories and events. These methods are mixed together to fit what a person wants to work on.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, steady environment where clients can talk through painful topics and try new coping skills. She tends to use clear, practical suggestions and short exercises clients can practice between meetings. Rachael views therapy as a partnership focused on small steps toward feeling better.
People who choose her often want straightforward help managing daily stress, making sense of trauma or grief, improving sleep, or getting unstuck when motivation is low. She encourages people to bring what matters most into the room so the work stays relevant and useful.

How Rachael’s approaches translate to online work
Rachael commonly draws on motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Motivational interviewing focuses on helping a person find their own reasons for change through open questions and reflective listening; it can help with motivation, habit change, and overcoming ambivalence. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and priorities, giving space to tell their story and decide goals while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and introduces practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, mood, and sleep.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try experiential exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to an online setting and help clients apply skills in daily life. -
