Rachel Humphries, LPC

Rachel Humphries is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with experience in both mental health and emergency services. She focuses on supporting first responders, people managing chronic illness, and neurodivergent individuals or those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Her clinical work emphasizes practical, skills-based strategies drawn from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care.

Rachel aims to help clients improve daily functioning, build coping skills, and regain a greater sense of control over their lives. She customizes interventions to each person’s needs and circumstances, keeping the work focused on tangible progress and real-world improvements. As a licensed counselor, she offers structured support while remaining attentive to each client’s unique background and goals.

Clients can expect a respectful, understanding, and supportive environment from the first session onward, with an emphasis on collaborative problem solving and practical tools for managing stress, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Accessible Online Care

Rachel utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on practical skills and problem-solving, making it useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and improving day-to-day functioning. Trauma-informed care is another central approach, which emphasizes understanding how past experiences affect current reactions and prioritizes safety, empowerment, and pacing when addressing trauma or post-traumatic stress.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan fits each individual’s situation and pace.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility challenges, or chronic health concerns. These modalities let clients access licensed professionals from home or between shifts, support continuity of care, and accommodate different communication styles to make therapy more practical and accessible.
