About Rachel
Rachel Roberts is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, career struggles, depression, and coping with life changes. Rachel also works with compassion fatigue and related concerns.
She has practiced in a variety of settings, including intensive outpatient DBT programs, a medication-assisted treatment clinic, a university counseling center, and outpatient and residential services. Those roles gave her a broad view of how different problems show up in daily life. Rachel uses what she learned there to shape practical session work rather than follow a single formula.
Her approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and narrative-informed methods. In sessions she helps people identify patterns, try new coping skills, and work on communication and relationship habits. Goals are set together and adjusted as needed.
Rachel pays attention to cultural factors and family history when understanding difficulties. She has experience addressing abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, commitment and communication problems, control issues, substance use, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, infidelity, mood disorders, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress.
Her practice emphasizes clear, practical conversations that focus on steps a person can take between sessions. People often work on symptom management, relationship repair, and navigating life transitions in reasonably small, actionable steps.
How Rachel uses evidence-based approaches online
Rachel frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings so people can try specific changes and measure what helps. DBT focuses on building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be helpful for intense mood swings, relationship patterns, and self-harm risk factors.She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy to look at how early attachment patterns show up in adult relationships and to practice new ways of relating. These methods are described and tested together so the person and therapist can decide what feels most useful. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences.
