01About Rachel
Rachel Portlock is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with three years of counseling experience. She focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what matters to them and set clear goals for change. Rachel uses straightforward conversation to help people identify what they want to work on.
She listens, asks practical questions, and offers steps that can be tried between sessions. Sessions often focus on making small, achievable changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused strategies. That means attention to the person in front of her, looking at thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and identifying realistic next steps. Rachel adapts methods to each person rather than following a fixed script.
She helps with stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, intimacy-related concerns, family and parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Coaching conversations are also offered for people who want practical guidance on goals and boundaries. Rachel aims for clear, simple sessions that leave people with tools they can use.
She supports planning for new routines, practicing different responses, and tracking small wins. The tone is collaborative and practical, with a steady, encouraging presence.

04Online support
Online approaches that focus on practical change
Client-centered therapy is about listening closely to what matters to the person and following their lead. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change or reach.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It helps with anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful thinking by teaching simple skills to test and change patterns.
Solution-focused therapy zeroes in on solutions rather than problems. Sessions look for small, realistic next steps and ways to build on what already works in daily life.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals and preferences. Plans are revisited and adjusted as progress or needs change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are flexible for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or keeping momentum between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
