Rachel Washington-ChildersLPC

Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has three years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people through anxious moments, grief, parenting changes, and the challenges that arrive around pregnancy and childbirth. She aims to offer a warm, respectful space where people can be heard and understood.

Rachel meets people where they are and keeps language simple and direct. She works with adults, young adults, adolescents, parents, women, and people in the perinatal stage, including new parents. Sessions are intended to help clients manage stress, mood changes, and the everyday pressures that come with life transitions.

Her approach blends practical tools and collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build calm and present-moment focus. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused strategies support goal-setting and small, achievable change.

Rachel emphasizes tailoring therapy to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. She listens for strengths and priorities, then co-creates a plan that fits daily life. The work can include skills practice, brief coaching between sessions, and steady tracking of progress.

People who prefer clear steps, gentle encouragement, and attention to both mood and practical routines may find this style helpful. Rachel describes the counseling relationship as a partnership aimed at building resilience and clearer direction.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and often includes homework to try between sessions, which can be useful when daily routines feel overwhelming.

She also brings in Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques aim to reduce reactivity and build calm moments during a busy day, which can help with anxiety and mood regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts tools over time and checks in regularly to see what helps.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a packed week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use skills learned in sessions immediately in their daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and mindfulness exercises to virtual sessions to keep progress moving forward.
