Rachel Mattis, LPC

Rachel Mattis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns. She helps people manage worry, improve self-esteem, and navigate big life changes. Rachel also supports adults coping with ADHD and the everyday fallout from perfectionism and people-pleasing. Her style is collaborative and individualized. She works with each person to identify the barriers holding them back, such as early life patterns, unhelpful behaviors, and entrenched beliefs. Rachel aims to create a space where clients can try new ways of responding and regain a sense of joy and contentment. She pays attention to communication difficulties, commitment and control issues, and attachment patterns that show up in relationships. Rachel also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her work includes helping clients set healthier boundaries and build self-love. Rachel brings 15 years of professional experience to her practice. She offers straightforward guidance and practical steps alongside reflective conversation. People often come for help with mood struggles, social anxiety, or the effects of family-of-origin dynamics. She identifies as Jewish and as a Zionist, and notes she can offer an especially understanding space for clients who share those identities and who may have had trouble finding that context elsewhere. Sessions are conducted in English and tailored to each person's needs.

Evidence-based tools for online work and fit

Rachel uses evidence-informed techniques to help people manage anxiety, rebuild relationships, and address self-esteem. For example, she may use behavioral strategies to reduce anxious avoidance and build healthier routines. These methods focus on small, practical steps that reduce worry and improve daily functioning.

She also pays attention to attachment and communication patterns in relationships, helping clients notice unhelpful cycles and try new responses. That work emphasizes clearer boundaries, better communication habits, and experimenting with different ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy is a joint process of trial and refinement.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during breaks. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting or a phone session if they prefer less screen time. Ask about available formats when you schedule to find what will work best.
