Rachel Lopez De Castilla Wooden, LMFT

Rachel Lopez De Castilla Wooden is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Texas with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She also addresses concerns like relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and career stress.

Rachel believes clients are the experts on their own stories and that existing strengths can be used to move through hard times. She listens for what matters most and helps people name practical next steps. Sessions focus on clear goals and manageable changes rather than long lists of tasks.

Her approach draws on client-centered principles and solution-focused ideas to keep conversations grounded and action-oriented. She uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe unhelpful stories about themselves. Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit a person’s routine and goals.

Rachel has supported people dealing with family and relationship problems, including blended family issues and adoption or attachment concerns. She also works with those experiencing compassion fatigue, first responder stress, and multicultural challenges. Her work often covers communication problems, codependency, and the fallout from divorce or separation.

Conversations in sessions are straightforward and practical. Rachel helps people identify small experiments to try between meetings. She asks about what’s already working and what feels realistic to change next. Over time the aim is clearer thinking and steadier habits that fit everyday life.
