About Rachel
Rachel Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, and issues around intimacy and career. Rachel also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Her background includes work in intensive outpatient DBT programs, a medication-assisted treatment clinic, a university counseling center, and both outpatient and residential adolescent programs. Those roles gave her regular exposure to mood disorders, personality disorders, postpartum depression, and post-traumatic stress. She has supported people dealing with substance use and compassion fatigue as well.
Rachel uses a mix of approaches in sessions. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Imago Relationship Therapy, and mindfulness practices. In plain terms, that means she helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, learn skills to regulate emotion, and practice new ways of relating to others.
Her style is collaborative and practical. Sessions can include skill practice, structured problem solving, and talking through patterns from family of origin or culture. Rachel pays attention to how a person’s relationships and background shape current difficulties.
People who come for help with guilt or shame often work on understanding where those feelings come from, testing harsh self-beliefs, and learning ways to respond differently. To start, a short intake and matching questionnaire are used to schedule the first session and set initial goals.
How Rachel’s approaches are used in online sessions
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on teaching specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can help when strong emotions, relationship conflicts, or self-destructive patterns make daily life hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses structured exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent self-critical beliefs.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation, and she adjusts the plan as progress and challenges emerge. That means trying practical skills, reviewing how those tools are working, and shifting focus if something does not help.
The biography describes experience with telehealth as well as in-person practice, but current session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, and remove travel time for people balancing work or caregiving. Talk-based work, skill practice, and structured CBT or DBT exercises translate well to remote sessions, and the therapist will help adapt exercises to each person's everyday life.
