More about Rachel

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

Hello! Welcome to the BetterHelp Community. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and a graduate from Lamar University. I have 3 years of professional experience. I believe counseling provides an opportunity for individuals to learn and grow personally within their unique journey. It is important to me to create a safe and warm space where clients feel they are being heard and embraced within their situation.

I enjoy working with adults, young adults, adolescents, parents, women, women in the perinatal stage, and new parents, and parents that are in the stages of transition with their children. I utilize an Elective Approach to help clients struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, stress, family conflict, relationship strain, trauma and those adjusting to the daily challenges of life. I believe that therapy is not a one size fits all. We will work together to tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
