About Rachel
Rachel Hodgdon is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical, compassionate help for everyday struggles. She uses straightforward conversation to address stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her approach is calm and respectful, aimed at meeting each person where they are.
With five years of clinical experience, she helps people work through trauma and abuse and manage panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Rachel supports people navigating pregnancy, childbirth-related emotions, and young adult transitions. Rachel draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take small, meaningful steps toward them. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her focus on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current struggles.
Sessions are tailored to the individual. Conversations and exercises are chosen to fit current needs and daily life. The goal is to leave people with clear tools they can use between appointments.
Rachel offers care in English and accepts international clients. She works via several online formats so people can find a way to meet that fits their schedule and needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and anxiety support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and then take small actions that match those values. It can help reduce the struggle with painful thoughts and make room for meaningful parenting choices and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative step in therapy. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, day-to-day challenges, and personal preferences. Together they will try approaches that fit and adjust methods as progress and needs change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and offer brief, focused exchanges. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions around work, parenting, or travel while accessing licensed professionals.
