About Rabaya
Rabaya Rahman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, grief, anger, and addiction concerns, and she lists codependency among her additional focus areas.
She uses straightforward, person-focused methods to help people untangle repetitive patterns. Sessions tend to center on listening closely, identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and building small, concrete skills to handle difficult moments. She also draws on motivational interviewing when people are weighing change, and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals.
In practice she prioritizes collaborative conversations. Clients can expect a mixture of reflective talk, practical exercises, and gentle goal-setting rather than long lectures or heavy theory. She works in English and notes experience with multicultural issues and immigration-related stress.
Rabaya aims to help people recognize how they get pulled into other people’s needs and to practice clearer boundaries and decision-making. She also addresses family-of-origin concerns, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and substance-related problems when they affect daily life.
Her background blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness practices. Over eight years she has supported people through life transitions, career changes, grief, and relapse prevention steps. To begin, Rabaya asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. These approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, codependency patterns, and day-to-day coping.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to test methods, adjust techniques, and agree on short-term goals. Progress is reviewed together so the approach can be changed if needed to better fit the person’s goals and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients try skills and then report back on how they used them in everyday life, which supports practical change.
