About Rachel
Rachel Humphries is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings four years of experience that span mental health and emergency services. Rachel focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
Her style is practical and supportive. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build skills and improve daily functioning. Sessions are tailored to what each person needs and wants to work on.
Background and approach
Rachel pays attention to how past events and current routines affect day-to-day life. She helps people organize small steps that can reduce overwhelm and increase a sense of control. Conversations tend to focus on concrete tools and strategies rather than long, abstract theory.
She also brings experience relevant to first responder issues, chronic illness and disability, neurodivergence, and intellectual disability. That background informs how she adapts sessions and pacing so people can engage more comfortably. Rachel aims to make the first meeting straightforward and respectful.
People can expect clear goals, a focus on skills they can use between sessions, and gentle checks on progress. The work is collaborative, with adjustments made as needed.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Rachel draws from established cognitive-behavioral strategies that focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing changes in behavior. CBT techniques help people learn skills for anxiety, stress, and mood changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.She also uses trauma-informed care, which centers on safety, choice, and pacing. This approach helps people who have experienced trauma or abuse by focusing on stabilization, coping skills, and gradual work on troubling memories or reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, comfort with different techniques, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they adjust methods over time so therapy fits real life and changing needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when video bandwidth is limited, live chat is helpful for quick check-ins, and texting supports brief updates or on-the-go coping reminders. These options allow scheduling to fit work, appointments, and daily life.
