Rachel Hodgdon, LPC - Therapist in Texas

About Rachel

Rachel Hodgdon is a licensed professional counselor who combines practical tools with a warm, down-to-earth manner. She uses clear, simple language in sessions so parents and individuals can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.

Rachel is based in Texas and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape therapy in ways that fit each person.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clarifying values and making choices that match what matters most. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about relationships and emotional needs.

In sessions Rachel listens for specific patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She then builds straightforward strategies you can try between visits, such as skills for anxiety, grounding for trauma reactions, or parenting techniques tailored to your situation. The tone is collaborative rather than prescriptive.

Rachel aims to make sessions practical and manageable, especially for people juggling family responsibilities and busy schedules. She adapts pace and goals to what feels realistic for each person. If changes are slow, she will adjust interventions and check in on what is or isn’t working.

Her approach is respectful and nonjudgmental. Rachel explains tools clearly and teaches skills that families and individuals can use right away. Over time the focus is on small, steady steps toward greater stability and clearer priorities.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters most to them and then take small actions toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and decisions about parenting or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift them. CBT is often used for panic, social anxiety, depression, and managing daily stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will pick strategies to try and adjust them over time if needed, making the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions can happen as video calls or phone sessions when a real-time conversation is needed, or via live chat and text-based messaging for shorter check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules and shifting routines while still working with licensed professionals to address stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
