Rachel Washington-Childers, LPC

Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She frames counseling as a place to learn and grow. Her style is warm and straightforward, and she aims to make people feel heard from the first session.

She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. Rachel also addresses issues such as self-esteem, body image, mood shifts, postpartum depression, and life transitions. Her approach is flexible and shaped around each person's situation.

In sessions she uses practical, goal-oriented methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking, develop coping skills, and set realistic steps forward. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build habits that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Rachel emphasizes collaboration. Clients and the therapist work together to set goals and try different strategies until something fits. She highlights respect, sensitivity, and compassion as central to her work.

Her practice supports people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, financial worries, feelings of emptiness, impulsivity, and challenges around forgiveness or commitment. Rachel aims to help clients move from feeling stuck toward clearer choices and steadier routines.

She offers several ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started is a simple process that begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

How Rachel’s Approaches Work Online

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day problems that get in the way of functioning.

She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice sensations, thoughts, and emotions without getting swept away by them. Mindfulness practices can help with stress, rumination, and improving focus during parenting or work demands.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and realistic for the client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face work when talking and seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins and step-by-step support possible outside of scheduled sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with their goals.
