About Rachel

Rachel Stankus is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling stressed or anxious and those navigating relationship strain, career pressures, and big life changes. Rachel also supports people coping with compassion fatigue, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, and workplace issues.

In sessions she focuses on practical conversation and problem solving. She listens to what is happening day to day and helps clients notice patterns that cause distress. Rachel talks through concrete steps for managing panic, lowering day-to-day stress, and improving how people relate at work and at home.

Her background includes helping clients with addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and career difficulties. That experience informs a straightforward approach to handling crises and ongoing stress. Rachel aims to make sessions usable in everyday life, with actions clients can try between meetings.

She adapts the discussion and treatment plan to each persons situation. The plan may include short-term skills practice, problem-solving around work or family demands, and pacing for longer-term issues. Rachel uses clear language and keeps goals practical so progress is easy to track.

Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling details before booking so they know what options are available.

BHow sessions work

Therapeutic techniques and online care

Rachel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach is skills-based work for anxiety and panic, which teaches breathing, grounding, and short behavioral steps to reduce intense symptoms and manage panic attacks in the moment. Another approach emphasizes problem solving for workplace and career stress, breaking down overwhelming tasks and building routines to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may involve trying a few methods and keeping what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel by removing commute time and allowing meetings from different locations. They also allow shorter check-ins when a quick problem needs attention, and they can reduce the time commitment compared with traveling to an office. Ask about available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches your routine.
