About Rachel
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) with 11 years of experience in New York, Rachel Trudell helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and trauma. She sees individuals who are coping with panic, mood disorders, self-esteem challenges, and social anxiety. Sessions also address life transitions such as divorce and questions about purpose.
Rachel focuses on clear, practical conversation. She works collaboratively and listens for what matters to each person. She aims to reduce isolation and help clients regain trust in themselves through steady, goal-oriented work.
Her practice covers a range of concerns that often overlap. People bring worries about communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and loneliness. Rachel helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and try new ways of responding.
She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse. That work moves at a pace the client sets and balances emotion-focused moments with problem-solving. Treatment can include skills to manage panic and strategies to stabilize mood.
Rachel is comfortable integrating personal values into sessions, including faith-informed perspectives when clients request them. She presents options plainly and discusses how different approaches might fit a person’s goals. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques are used in virtual sessions
Rachel describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach is skills-based work to manage anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and short behavioral experiments to reduce intense symptoms. This helps people get practical tools they can use between sessions.Another approach focuses on trauma-informed care that balances talking through difficult memories with stabilizing strategies. That helps people build tolerance for strong emotions while reducing the daily impact of past events. Both approaches emphasize clear goals and measurable steps toward them.
Deciding which techniques to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then suggest approaches to try. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most in real life.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a workday, reduce commuting time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. If a less visual option is preferred, discuss whether a phone or shorter session would better fit daily routines.
