About Rachel

Rachel Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in and around Houston and focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as grief, intimacy, and self-esteem.

She has provided care in a variety of settings, including intensive outpatient DBT programs, a medication-assisted treatment clinic, a university counseling center, and outpatient and residential programs for adolescents. Those roles shaped how she approaches difficult patterns and crises in everyday life.

Rachel uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Motivational Interviewing helps with change that people want but feel stuck on. She also uses Imago Relationship Therapy concepts and mindfulness practices when those fit a person's goals.

Her background includes work with substance use services and trauma-focused care. That experience informs how she talks about addiction, mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress in clear, step-by-step ways. She pays attention to cultural and family influences that shape how people react and relate.

Sessions are collaborative and straightforward. Rachel aims to help people identify what keeps them stuck, practice new ways of handling emotions and relationships, and make choices that feel more manageable. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site's matching and scheduling steps to set a first appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioral changes to shift mood and reactions, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help when emotions feel overwhelming.

She also incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and build momentum. Together, these methods give both concrete tools and a way to make changes one step at a time. Figuring out which mix fits best is part of the first sessions, and Rachel works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and situation.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use video and phone in different ways, so checking the available formats will help match sessions to your schedule and practical needs.
