About Rabaya
Rabaya Rahman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, and anger. She also focuses on attachment, blended family issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and related challenges.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. That may include talking through patterns, testing small behavior changes, and building skills for everyday situations. Sessions often focus on steps clients can try between meetings to see what helps.
Rabaya combines client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support change and Mindfulness Therapy to help manage intense feelings and reactivity. These approaches are used to address alcohol and drug problems, communication struggles, control issues, guilt, shame, and immigration-related stress.
In the room she aims for a collaborative way of working. The therapist and client set clear goals and check progress. Conversations usually move from identifying problems to practical next steps over several sessions.
She sees clients in New York and provides services in English. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's sign-up flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps when someone feels misunderstood or needs help clarifying goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. That approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, and behavior change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to use based on their goals and preferences. Sessions may shift between talking, skill practice, and brief experiments to see what helps most in daily life.
Confirm available session formats before booking, since the sign-up flow lists current options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer video for face-to-face interaction, while others choose audio for a simpler setup; the therapist will discuss practical options during the initial matching and scheduling process.
