Rachel Washington-Childers

Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings three years of clinical experience and a focus on women's issues and parenting transitions. Rachel aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and respectful of each person's story.

She creates a warm, listening environment where people can talk through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Rachel also helps with concerns such as body image, self-esteem, postpartum depression, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Conversations are practical and down to earth rather than full of jargon.

Rachel uses a flexible, elective approach so each plan fits the person’s needs. She draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. Together with the client she sets goals and checks progress along the way.

Sessions often focus on real-life strategies for coping, improving communication, and handling parenting or relationship stress. Rachel supports people working through pregnancy and childbirth related concerns and the challenges of new parenthood. Her style balances gentle challenge with clear, actionable steps.

Rachel emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the work. She understands change can feel hard and offers steady guidance while people learn new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

How her approaches translate to online care

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down, notice the present moment, and respond to stress with more calm and clarity.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Rachel discusses your goals and preferences and then tries methods that match what you need. Together you monitor what helps and adjust course when something is not working well.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules need it. It also lets people practice skills in their everyday settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for real-time problem solving.
