About Rachel
Rachel Hodgdon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and the everyday strain of parenting. Her approach is direct and respectful, aimed at real-life problem solving rather than jargon.
With five years of professional experience, Rachel adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation. She listens for what matters most and suggests steps that can fit into a busy life. That can mean short coping skills, clearer communication strategies, or new ways to manage overwhelming feelings.
She uses several evidence-informed methods, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused perspectives, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills drawn from dialectical behavior approaches. Rachel combines these approaches to match what a person needs, rather than following a single script.
Her work often centers on parenting concerns and the stress that comes with life transitions. She also supports people dealing with shame, isolation, panic, post-traumatic stress, issues around pregnancy and childbirth, sexuality, social anxiety, and challenges common to young adults.
Sessions are led with sensitivity and without judgment. Rachel encourages small, steady changes and practical experiments between meetings. People who prefer a straightforward, collaborative style may find her approach helpful.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions around parenting and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors through clear steps and experiments. It is often used for anxiety, panic, social anxiety, and depression.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try approaches that fit each person. This is a collaborative process where techniques can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, since sessions can often be held without travel. It can reduce time spent commuting, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep continuity during life transitions.
