Rachel Khan-McCroy, LCSW

Rachel Khan-McCroy is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with over a decade of clinical experience. She emphasizes a client-centered approach that puts the person's own story and strengths first. Rachel aims to be supportive and collaborative while helping people identify coping skills that fit their life.

In sessions she draws on practical methods such as cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and elements of relationship work. She helps people facing trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Her work also addresses related concerns like chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and family-of-origin issues.

Rachel has experience across a wide range of settings and clinical presentations. She has supported people with PTSD, complex grief, mood concerns, disordered eating, substance use, and life-limiting illness. That background informs a steady, down-to-earth approach in the therapy room.

People who meet with her can expect straightforward skill-building alongside reflective conversation. Sessions may include practical exercises, mindfulness practice, and guidance for managing intense emotions. The focus is on skills that can be used between appointments.

Rachel accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. The process is aimed at matching needs and preferences with a clear next step.

Approaches you can use online

Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and building on their strengths. It means the therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what matters, and helps uncover practical coping steps that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce distress and improve mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills help when feelings are intense or when relationships and boundaries are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. That discussion guides what techniques are practiced in sessions and between meetings.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter times of day, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that feels better. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find that video or phone sessions let therapeutic work continue even when life gets complicated.
