Therapy That Meets You Where You Are

Inclusive Counseling Solutions offers compassionate, solution-focused counseling.

Individual Counseling

Therapy for anxiety, depression, life transitions, burnout, relationship challenges, and the moments when you feel stuck or overwhelmed. Our work is collaborative, practical, and grounded in helping you understand yourself while creating meaningful change.

Anxiety & Depression

When your thoughts feel overwhelming or your motivation has disappeared, therapy can help you understand what's underneath the symptoms and develop practical ways to cope, reconnect, and move forward.

Burnout & Life Transitions

Major changes can leave you questioning what comes next. Whether you're navigating career changes, burnout, relationship shifts, or simply outgrowing an old version of yourself, therapy can provide space to reset and move forward intentionally.

Women’s Issues

A space to explore the unique pressures, expectations, relationships, and transitions that can shape women's emotional well-being. Therapy can help you reconnect with your needs, boundaries, identity, and sense of self.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Support

You deserve a therapeutic space where you can show up fully and be met with respect and understanding. Our approach is affirming, inclusive, and centered on helping you navigate relationships, identity, stress, and life transitions authentically.

Rachael Brooks, M.Ed., NCC, LPC-S

About Rachael

Rachael is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with more than eight years of experience in the counseling profession. She holds a Master of Education in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and is a National Certified Counselor (NCC) through the National Board for Certified Counselors.

Rachael's clinical practice is grounded in a solution-focused, collaborative, and trauma-informed approach. Her primary clinical modalities and interventions include Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, person-centered counseling, and practical skills-based interventions. She works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship concerns, identity development, and trauma-related concerns.

Her clinical philosophy emphasizes the integration of empathy, clinical insight, and practical intervention. Rachael believes effective counseling should help clients develop greater self-awareness while also identifying realistic strategies they can use outside of the therapy setting. Her work is focused on helping clients recognize patterns, strengthen coping skills, clarify goals, develop healthier boundaries, and move toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Professional Experience & Leadership

In addition to her clinical counseling practice, Rachael brings professional experience in leadership, case management, family systems, and public-sector service. Her broader professional background has strengthened her ability to navigate complex situations, coordinate across systems, communicate effectively with multidisciplinary professionals, and balance clinical considerations with practical needs.

These experiences inform her approach to counseling and professional development. She values ethical practice, thoughtful clinical decision-making, cultural humility, professional accountability, and continued growth as a clinician.

Professional Development & Supervision

Rachael has completed the Parris Foundation Texas LPC-S 40-Hour Supervisor Training Course, completing 40 clock hours of formal training in clinical supervision. Her training included supervision models and relationships, counselor development, group and multicultural supervision, evaluation and feedback methods, legal and ethical standards of practice, and administrative responsibilities associated with clinical supervision.

Rachael's developing supervision philosophy emphasizes ethical practice, clinical reasoning, reflective practice, professional identity development, constructive feedback, and the integration of sound clinical skills into real-world counseling practice.

As she develops this next area of professional practice, Rachael is particularly interested in supporting emerging counselors as they transition from academic training into independent clinical practice. Her supervision philosophy is grounded in collaboration, ethical development, clinical reasoning, self-reflection, and the integration of evidence-informed counseling skills into real-world practice.

Her goal as an emerging supervisor is to create a professional learning environment where counselors-in-training and LPC-Associates can ask questions, examine their clinical work honestly, develop confidence, and strengthen their professional identity while maintaining appropriate clinical and ethical standards.
