Rachel Cooper, MS, LPC-Associate

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate based in Texas, supervised by Amber Quaranta Leech, PHD, LPC-S.

About Me

Feeling like you’re running at full speed on a treadmill that won’t stop? You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to reach out for support. Even successful, driven people benefit from guidance to navigate stress, transitions, and self-imposed pressure. There’s a way to find balance without giving up your drive.

With 3 years of experience helping high-achieving adults manage anxiety, perfectionism, and boundary challenges, I specialize in supporting people who hold themselves to high standards yet long for a healthier balance between striving and self-care. Many describe themselves as overachievers: thoughtful, capable individuals discovering that slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind.

If you’ve been considering therapy but aren’t sure if things are “bad enough” to reach out, you’re not alone.

Individuals frequently reach out when they feel stuck, exhausted, or out of alignment; together, we work toward meaningful, lasting change.

How I Work

Through therapy, you can gain clarity, learn practical strategies, and reconnect with your values so you can move forward with more ease and intention. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, feeling the effects of chronic stress, or simply wanting to feel more grounded, I offer counseling tailored to your unique goals and experiences.

I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you release unhelpful thought patterns and tap into your existing strengths. Our work is goal-oriented, practical, and focused not just on what’s wrong, but on what’s possible, informed by my experience helping high-achieving adults navigate similar challenges.
