About Rachel
Rachel Washington-Childers is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for worried parents and adults facing change. Rachel emphasizes listening first and building a plan that fits each person’s life and goals.
She creates a warm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Rachel also addresses postpartum challenges, mood struggles, and the strain that life transitions can cause.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and small, manageable shifts. Rachel uses a mix of tools to match what the client needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals.
Mindfulness techniques and Motivational Interviewing help people notice their choices and find motivation to change. Sessions often include problem-solving, skill practice, and simple home strategies parents can try between meetings. Rachel values collaboration and checks in often to make sure the work remains relevant.
She plans care with sensitivity to each person’s background and day-to-day demands. Her practice supports people who want help with communication problems, self-esteem, body image, parenting transitions, and financial stress. Rachel encourages realistic steps toward relief and growth, and she helps clients track progress along the way.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thinking and behavior patterns that worsen stress and mood. CBT often involves small experiments and practice tasks to test new ways of responding. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing skills so people can respond more calmly during stressful moments, such as parenting challenges or strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Rachel checks in about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. She collaborates with each person to combine tools from different methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat can be a shorter check-in between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around parenting duties, work, or other daily demands.
