Rachel "Coco" Caron-Delas, MHC-LP
Staff Therapist (she/her/hers)
Coco Caron-Delas is a Staff Therapist at Insight & Action Therapy, providing counseling to adolescents, adults, and groups. A former journalist, Coco brings a distinctly thoughtful lens to her clinical work: an understanding that the stories we tell about ourselves — and the language we use to tell them — shape the way we experience our lives. In the therapy room, she works collaboratively with clients to construct new narratives that inspire genuine growth and change.
Coco's clinical focus includes eating disorders and disordered eating, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use and recovery, ADHD, neurodivergence, and life transitions. She is also a registered yoga teacher and draws on her knowledge of the mind-body connection in her work with clients, integrating somatic awareness in ways that feel natural and grounded.
Having grown up as a member of a United Nations family and a student of international schools, Coco brings a multicultural, globally-informed perspective to her practice. She is deeply committed to culturally-sensitive counseling and to creating a space where clients from all backgrounds feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.
Coco holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Barnard College, Columbia University, with a focus on how social media impacts interpersonal connectedness; a Master's degree in Journalism from Concordia University in Montreal; and a Master's of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College, CUNY. Prior to her current focus, she worked with individuals in recovery from substance use and alcoholism through both therapeutic and vocational counseling.
Coco does not subscribe to a single therapeutic theory or modality. She takes an integrative approach, drawing from person-centered, narrative, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapies, as well as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), depending on what each client needs.
Central to her work is the therapeutic alliance. Coco is attentive to what motivates her clients and aims to create a comfortable, collaborative environment in which clients feel free to express themselves in the ways that feel most natural to them. She approaches therapy with mindfulness and compassion, helping clients better understand problematic or intrusive thoughts and replace them with resources that boost mood, deepen self-insight, and strengthen their relationships with themselves and others.
