About Rachel

Rachel Schwartz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling after trauma or abuse, coping with grief, and rebuilding self-esteem.

She sets a calm, nonjudgmental tone so people can talk about painful memories and current stress. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage overwhelming feelings and regain a sense of control.

Background and approach

Rachel helps clients name what matters to them and try small changes that fit their life. For grief and loss, she helps people make space for tough emotions while finding ways to keep moving forward. With trauma-related concerns she supports pacing the work, prioritizing safety, and using steady coping skills.

For workplace strain and compassion fatigue she offers ways to recognize burnout signs and rebuild boundaries. Conversations may include looking at patterns in relationships, addressing guilt and shame, and clarifying life purpose and values. She also helps people work through communication struggles and control issues that get in the way of daily functioning.

To begin, a short questionnaire matches people with a therapist and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Rachel lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on grounding and practical coping. One common approach focuses on skills to manage overwhelming emotions and bodily reactions after trauma - learning simple grounding and breathing practices, then applying them when stress spikes. This helps people regain calm and handle moments that used to feel unbearable.

Another approach centers on processing grief and loss through structured conversations and meaning-making. Sessions guide clients to acknowledge difficult feelings, remember what matters, and try small actions that honor loss while moving forward. This method supports clearer thinking and steadier days without rushing the process.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and methods over time so the work feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is lower, and live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit therapy into a busy day. These options allow therapy to be scheduled around work, caregiving, and other obligations while keeping the focus on progress.
