Rachel Garry is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She has worked in a family counseling center, an outpatient hospital, and a community college. Rachel focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and improve day-to-day coping. She aims to make therapy straightforward and usable for busy lives.

Rachel helps people with common struggles such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addiction, and trauma. She also supports those dealing with career choices, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and mood changes. Women's issues are a named focus area in her work.

Her approach begins by listening to each person's concerns and priorities. Sessions focus on what the client needs now and which methods will help most. Rachel typically draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and try small changes that add up.

Mindfulness techniques are used to build awareness and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is available when people want help finding motivation for change. Together these tools aim to make progress feel achievable and concrete.

Rachel describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps clients choose strategies that fit their life and values. The tone in sessions is practical, respectful, and goal oriented.

Therapeutic tools for online care

Rachel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy during online sessions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy offers simple attention and breathing exercises to lower reactivity and improve sleep and mood.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins. This approach suits people who want a focused plan and quick steps that fit into a busy schedule. Rachel works collaboratively to decide which approach or mix of approaches fits each person's goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers flexibility by letting clients meet from wherever makes sense for them. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit short check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, check-ins, or between-session support. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while working with a licensed professional.
