About Rachel
Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and direct, focusing on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She helps clients sort through relationship strain, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Rachel also addresses concerns such as body image, postpartum depression, mood changes, and feelings of isolation.
How Rachel works
Sessions aim to be respectful and sensitive to each person's situation. Her approach blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work. She adapts tools to match what each person needs instead of using a single method for everyone.
That means identifying small, achievable goals and building on them over time. In a session Rachel listens first, then offers clear strategies for coping and behavior change. She supports parents navigating stages of child-rearing and people adjusting to major life events.
Therapy conversations are practical, with a focus on what can be tried between meetings. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are revisited and adjusted. Rachel frames progress as a series of workable steps rather than overnight fixes.
She emphasizes respect, compassion, and steady encouragement throughout the work together.

How Rachel Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Rachel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and practice calmer responses. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that worsen mood and then testing small behavior changes to shift those patterns. Mindfulness helps people pay attention to the present moment and reduce reactivity to stressors.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel stuck or uncertain about change. That approach involves asking open questions and reflecting back what a person says to help them clarify their own reasons for change. Together, these approaches can address anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions in a practical way.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as progress unfolds so treatment stays useful and focused.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video can support longer conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow brief updates, goal tracking, and ongoing reflection between appointments, helping therapy fit into busy schedules.
