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, low self-esteem, depression, grief, addiction, relationship and family concerns, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English.
Rahman uses straightforward, practical methods. She centers conversations on what the client wants to change and on small, doable steps. Sessions tend to focus on current problems and on skills that help reduce reactivity, manage strong feelings, and improve communication.
Her style combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means listening to how someone explains their difficulty, then testing specific thoughts and behaviors that keep the problem going. Mindfulness methods are used to help people notice physical tension and emotional triggers without acting on them immediately.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work are added when people need help clarifying what they want and finding the next practical step. This can be useful for tackling addictions, commitment or control issues, and problems with motivation.
Rahman also attends to background issues like attachment, family of origin concerns, blended family stress, caregiver strain, immigration-related problems, and feelings of guilt, shame, or emptiness. She aims to help people build clearer patterns of communication and to reduce anger that undermines relationships.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Approaches used in remote sessions
Rabaya Rahman commonly draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in remote work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to how a person describes their problems and using that understanding to guide sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses straightforward exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.She also integrates mindfulness practices to help people notice bodily tension and emotional triggers before acting. Mindfulness exercises can be short and practical, such as breathing work or brief grounding techniques that reduce the urge to snap or shut down.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which approaches fit their goals, lifestyle, and what they want to change. That process may involve trying different techniques over the first few sessions and checking what feels most useful.
The original profile does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to practice skills between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises and mindfulness practices to work well in remote settings.
