About Rachel

Rachel Hodgdon is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings five years of clinical experience to her work. She emphasizes cognitive behavioral techniques alongside complementary approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the impacts of trauma and abuse.

Background and approach

Her practice prioritizes clear, evidence-informed strategies while remaining responsive to each person’s situation. She also addresses parenting concerns, coping with life transitions, and related challenges such as guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, sexuality, social anxiety, and young adult concerns.

Rachel aims to create a respectful and compassionate therapeutic relationship and customizes conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals. She accepts clients in Texas and is available to work with international clients as well.

Prospective clients can expect a practitioner who blends structured skill-building with attention to interpersonal patterns and emotional experience. Rachel invites questions and scheduling inquiries and encourages people to reach out when they are ready to begin.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic, while ACT emphasizes clarifying values and learning flexible ways to respond to difficult thoughts and emotions to improve daily functioning.

Rachel approaches treatment collaboratively; she will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals and preferences. Deciding on the right approach is part of the early sessions, and adjustments are made as needs evolve to ensure a good therapeutic match between techniques and the individual’s concerns.

Online therapy with Rachel uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue work consistently during life transitions while maintaining the professional relationship with a licensed clinician.
