    About Rachel

    Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has three years of experience and focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and depression. Rachel aims to offer a warm, respectful place where people feel heard as they work through hard moments.

    She meets each person where they are and builds a plan that fits their situation. Rachel uses practical methods to help with everyday struggles like low self-esteem, relationship tension, and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns such as body image, postpartum depression, mood shifts, and feelings of emptiness.

    Rachel draws on approaches like Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In sessions she listens first, helps set small goals, and uses straightforward strategies to try out between meetings. The emphasis is on steps that feel doable and relevant to the person’s life.

    Sessions often center on learning skills for stress reduction, improving communication, and making changes that match personal values. Rachel encourages collaboration so the person and therapist shape the pace and focus together. She describes therapy as a joint process of support and practical problem solving.

    People seeking help are invited to consider what they want to change and to take one small step at a time. Rachel respects each person’s journey and works to create a supportive environment for growth and clearer decision making.

  2. Therapy approaches that translate well online

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to support new goals and to strengthen motivation for steps forward.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical skills for shifting unhelpful thought patterns and for trying small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match the person's goals, pace, and preferences. That means trying things out and adjusting plans based on what helps most.

    Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also support continuity of care during life transitions while keeping the focus on practical skills and goal setting.
