About Rachel
Rachel Roberts is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She aims to make therapy a warm, nonjudgmental place where people can be honest, ask questions, and take small steps toward change. Rachel emphasizes respect for each person's culture and life story as part of understanding their struggles.
Her background includes work in intensive outpatient DBT programs, a medication-assisted treatment clinic, a university counseling center, and residential and outpatient programs for adolescents.
Background and approach
Those settings shaped a flexible approach and a conviction that one method does not fit every person. Rachel draws on several practical methods in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and Narrative Therapy to look at how stories about life shape current problems. Sessions emphasize collaboration. She listens for how relationships, family history, and culture affect difficulties like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and intimacy issues.
The aim is to build clearer understanding and realistic next steps rather than quick fixes. Rachel works in a down-to-earth style that mixes practical skill-building with exploration of personal meaning. She invites people to bring their whole selves, including doubts and setbacks, and to shape therapy around their goals.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How Narrative, CBT, and DBT Shape Online Care
Rachel integrates Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in ways that translate well to remote work. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those narratives to reduce shame and open new possibilities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing different, more helpful actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, story work, or a blend of methods, and they change course as needs shift.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to keep consistent appointments. Remote sessions can also allow shorter check-ins or work around work and family commitments, depending on the formats offered. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like worksheets, skill coaching, and narrative exercises to an online setting so therapy can still feel practical and goal-focused.
