About Rachel
Rachel Mattis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem challenges, life changes, and adult ADHD. She writes in plain terms and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control of daily life. Her sessions are tailored to each person.
She listens for patterns that cause repeated hurt or frustration, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, or trouble setting boundaries.
Background and approach
Then she works with clients to try new ways of handling those moments in everyday life. Rachel pays attention to early life experiences and how those shape current choices. She uses that understanding to help people spot unhelpful thinking and behavior and replace them with clearer options.
The work is intended to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs. She also notes her Jewish identity and that she identifies as a Zionist; she offers an understanding space for people who share those identities and who may have had trouble finding therapists who relate to those concerns.
That personal context does not change how she designs care for others. People who come to her often want straightforward help with communication, commitment doubts, control issues, or feelings of loneliness and shame. Rachel aims to help clients make small, manageable changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning and a clearer sense of purpose.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Rachel uses evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding patterns and practicing new skills. One common piece is helping clients identify automatic thoughts and beliefs that heighten anxiety and self-doubt, then testing new, more balanced ways of thinking in daily situations. This approach helps with worry, social anxiety, and low self-worth.Another practical focus is behavior change work that targets routines and habits - for example, reducing perfectionism or people-pleasing by experimenting with small shifts in boundaries and responses. These exercises are meant to be tried between sessions so progress becomes visible in ordinary life. Both approaches are useful for adults navigating ADHD-related challenges because they emphasize concrete strategies and repeated practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, strengths, and what feels most useful, then adjust techniques as needed. That collaborative process helps match methods to real-life needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports shorter daily updates or reflection between appointments.
