Rachel Washington-Childers, LPC

Rachel Washington-Childers, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, welcoming presence for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and parenting challenges. Rachel emphasizes meeting each person where they are and helping them move forward at their own pace.

Rachel works with adults, young adults, adolescents, parents, women, and people in perinatal stages and new parenthood. She uses a flexible approach rather than a single method. That means treatment plans are adapted to each person's needs and life circumstances.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and clear goals. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and from solution-focused strategies to build steps that feel doable. Mindfulness tools are used when slowing down and grounding help, and motivational interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel unsure where to start.

Rachel aims to create a warm, respectful space where clients feel listened to and supported. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She encourages small, concrete steps that can fit into busy lives.

People often come to her for help with relationships, communication problems, parenting transitions, body image concerns, postpartum mood changes, and coping with life transitions. Rachel emphasizes compassion and practical problem solving to help clients regain a sense of control and purpose.

How her approaches shape online care

Rachel draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase stress and anxiety. That approach focuses on practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors so daily life feels more manageable.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and grounding practices. Mindfulness can help with overwhelming emotions, rumination, and the ups and downs of parenting or perinatal life.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Rachel will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She tailors plans over time and checks in to see what is helping.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. The therapist model used here makes it possible to fit counseling into a busy schedule, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making it easier to schedule around work and childcare. Talk with Rachel about practical arrangements so sessions can be organized to match daily life and needs.
