About Rachel
Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of experience. She works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on relationship strain and self-esteem issues.
Rachel approaches sessions in a practical, straightforward way. She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify patterns and test small changes. Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness Therapy appear in her work to support clearer goals and present-moment coping.
In sessions she listens for what is most urgent to the client and then selects techniques that match those goals. That might mean working on ways to manage anxiety symptoms one week and practicing communication skills the next. She describes her method as flexible rather than fixed.
Many adults who come to her are navigating parenting transitions, postpartum challenges, or the stress of balancing money and family life. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma-related reactions, body image concerns, isolation, and difficulty with commitment or control.
Rachel keeps language simple and actionable. Clients can expect clear suggestions, short-term goals, and follow-up plans to try between sessions. Her aim is to help people make gradual, practical shifts that fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches work for online sessions
Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and testing small changes to see what helps. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and ease stress.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, life demands, and preferences. That may mean trying a few techniques and adjusting what is kept or dropped over time.
The practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making follow-up tasks easier to carry out between meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. This helps ensure sessions match timing and technology needs so the work can fit into everyday life.
