About Rachel

Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, welcoming presence and focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming. Rachel works with adults and parents navigating stress, anxiety, grief, mood changes, and parenting transitions.

She helps people set clear, manageable goals and tailor plans that fit their daily lives. Sessions often include concrete tools for coping with depression, postpartum concerns, and changes after major life events. Rachel pays attention to how relationships, communication, and finances can affect emotional well-being and brings that into the work when relevant.

Rachel uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. She aims to make therapy straightforward and focused, mixing skill-building with space to process feelings. Parents and people in the perinatal stage can find support around adjustment, parenting stress, and the emotional sides of pregnancy and childbirth.

Her style is collaborative and respectful. She listens, offers practical options, and helps clients try things that may reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Rachel emphasizes small changes that add up over time and checks in about what is or isn’t working.

If money and financial issues are part of the concern, she includes that in conversations about stress and planning. To begin, clients follow the platform intake steps and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

How Rachel Uses CBT and Mindfulness Online

Rachel often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT is used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller parts and testing new ways of thinking and acting.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay present with strong emotions and build steadier responses. Mindfulness exercises can reduce reactivity and support coping during life transitions or parenting challenges.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people try tools and homework between meetings so progress continues outside session time.
