About Rachel

Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas. She has three years of experience and brings a calm, practical approach to sessions. She aims to make therapy approachable for parents and adults dealing with everyday pressures and changes.

Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and depression. She also supports those handling parenting challenges, relationship strain, and life transitions. Rachel uses straightforward tools to help clients cope and make small, steady changes.

Background and approach

In sessions she blends problem-solving with skills practice. Techniques often include thought work from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness exercises to ease overwhelming feelings. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused strategies to set clear, achievable goals.

Rachel emphasizes collaboration when planning treatment. She will listen to what matters most, try different approaches, and adjust the plan based on what works. The aim is realistic progress that fits each person’s life and priorities.

Her style is warm and respectful, with attention to practical steps a parent or individual can use between meetings. She values honesty and gentle challenge when needed. Rachel offers a supportive space for people ready to take next steps toward coping and change.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Rachel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques help reduce rumination and increase calm in moments of overwhelm, which can be useful for grief, parenting stress, and mood concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit their situation, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping. The aim is to find tools that fit daily life and feel achievable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow flexibility for busy schedules, make it easier to fit sessions around parenting and work, and let clients use tools from home. The format can change as needs shift, and the therapist will discuss which option best supports the work they plan to do together.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
