About Rachel
Rachel Mattis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults facing relationship strain, self-esteem struggles, major life changes, and challenges tied to attention and focus. Rachel aims to create a respectful, understanding space where people can say what they’re facing and start to feel less stuck.
Her style is practical and individualized. She asks questions to understand a person’s history and current patterns, and then helps identify small, doable steps forward.
Background and approach
Rachel pays attention to early life experiences, communication habits, and the beliefs that keep people stuck in unhelpful cycles. Many clients come for help with boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports those navigating commitment issues and complicated family of origin dynamics.
Sessions focus on clear goals and real-world strategies that fit each person’s life. Rachel notes her own Jewish identity and Zionist perspective and says she can offer additional understanding to clients with similar identities who find it hard to locate spaces where they feel seen. This is an option she offers while keeping the work centered on each person’s needs.
Therapy with Rachel typically involves exploring patterns, trying new behaviors, and tracking progress between sessions. Her experience across 15 years informs a steady, approachable way of working that aims to help people regain a sense of purpose and ease in daily life.
Evidence-based approaches for online anxiety and life changes
Rachel often uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One common approach helps people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety; it teaches practical strategies for managing worry and testing assumptions in daily life. Another approach looks at relationship and attachment patterns, helping people understand how early experiences shape current interactions and teaching new ways to connect and set boundaries.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. Sessions may shift over time as priorities change and progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for sending quick updates, checking in between sessions, or using written exercises. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to follow the plan you and the therapist agree on.
