Rachel Mattis

Rachel Mattis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, and adult ADHD. Rachel also lists life purpose among the issues she helps people consider.

She focuses on practical, usable steps in sessions. Rachel talks with clients about patterns that get in the way, like people-pleasing, perfectionism, and old family dynamics. She helps people practice clearer communication and set boundaries that fit their lives.

Her approach looks at how early experiences and internalized beliefs shape current behavior. Rachel helps people notice unhelpful habits and test new ways of acting. Sessions include discussion, reflection, and small experiments to try between meetings.

Rachel also attends to feelings such as guilt, shame, isolation, and confusion about commitment. She works with issues that commonly affect young adults and women, and addresses social anxiety, mood concerns, and attachment-related problems. Life purpose is one thread she can help people examine when they feel stuck.

She identifies as Jewish and as a Zionist and notes that she can provide an affirming space for clients who share those identities. Rachel emphasizes collaborating with each person to decide which steps are most useful rather than following a fixed plan.

To begin, prospective clients choose the online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can fit your life

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing patterns that keep people stuck. One approach she uses looks at how early attachment and family experiences shape current relationship behaviors; it helps with attachment concerns, codependency, and communication problems by identifying repeated responses and trying alternatives. Another approach concentrates on breaking unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles through practical exercises and between-session tasks; this can be useful for anxiety, perfectionism, and managing ADHD-related challenges.

Choosing the right method is part of the work. She treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test different techniques to see which match their needs and goals. That means sessions may shift over time as new challenges or priorities emerge.

The practical benefit of meeting online is that sessions can be arranged to fit into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Confirm current session options before booking, since available formats are set by the practice. Online meetings can make it easier to fit a short check-in during a break, use a video meeting when a more interactive session is helpful, or choose a lower-bandwidth option when connection limits matter. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work so the work continues between sessions.
