About Rachel
Rachel Trudell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and trauma, and lists guilt and shame among her focus areas. Rachel also addresses issues like panic, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.
She uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions direct and collaborative. In conversation she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, name painful feelings, and try different ways of responding. That can mean practicing new communication skills, learning tools for panic and anxiety, or looking at how past hurt contributes to present shame or isolation.
Rachel often supports people during major life changes such as divorce, grief, or shifts in faith and meaning. She will work with the reader to identify immediate goals and step-by-step changes that fit daily life. Sessions include talking through recent events as well as building small experiments to test new behaviors.
She offers an approach that respects personal values, including faith-informed options when that matters to the client. Rachel aims to increase emotional awareness and personal agency rather than offering quick fixes or promises.

Evidence-based approaches for online sessions
Rachel uses common evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and understanding. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative thoughts and behaviors; these are useful for anxiety, panic, and mood concerns. Trauma-informed methods focus on stabilizing symptoms, building safety in daily routines, and processing distressing memories at a pace the client can manage.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, priorities, and past experiences and suggest options to try. Together you will track what helps and adjust plans if a different approach fits better over time.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins between in-person visits, and make it simpler to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Because formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current session options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or other arrangements are offered.
