About Rachael

Rachael Considine is a licensed mental health counselor with six years of practice in New York. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, anger, sleep problems, and mood changes.

Rachael works with issues related to ADHD, gender dysphoria, OCD symptoms, and seasonal mood shifts. Rachael centers each session on the person's story. She treats the client as the expert and looks for strengths to build on.

Background and approach

Conversations are aimed at making steady, practical changes rather than quick fixes. Sessions are straightforward and focused on what matters to the client now. Her approach pulls from Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people reframe difficult experiences.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness tools to address thought patterns and daily habits. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants help finding the motivation to change a behavior. Rachael aims to create a calm, respectful setting where people can try out new ways of coping.

She explains options and works together with each person to choose strategies that fit their life. Progress often comes from small steps repeated over time. Her practice is based in New York and sessions are offered in English.

People can expect a collaborative process that focuses on clear goals, practical techniques, and listening to the whole story.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Rachael directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical methods work online

Rachael draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reorganize the stories they tell themselves, showing how different meanings can change how someone feels and acts. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's lead, offering reflective listening and support that helps people clarify their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and routines with clear, practical steps that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachael works together with each person to test methods and adjust them based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether storytelling, reflective listening, or skill work will be most useful at a given moment.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, step-by-step practice, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for scheduling and for using tools that match how a person prefers to work.
