About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She brings 13 years of direct therapy experience and a longer history in mental health roles to her work. Rachel focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and related concerns.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology with a minor in Black Studies, and a master’s degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Before concentrating on therapy, she held roles as a clinician, supervisor, and clinic and regional director in community mental health settings.
Rachel draws on client-centered methods to create a respectful, culturally aware space. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice thoughts and patterns that keep them stuck. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her approach when people want clear, small steps toward change.
Her background includes work in substance use treatment, domestic and family violence, career counseling, and community-based mental health programs. She also addresses concerns like caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, compassion fatigue, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
Sessions are offered in English and scheduled with non-traditional evening hours in Central Standard Time. Prospective clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools, and collaboration on goals to manage daily challenges and improve wellbeing.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, respect, and working at the client’s pace to find what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when someone wants practical tools to change patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to use more CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps during sessions.
Please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people choose online work for practical reasons like fitting sessions into an evening routine, keeping a shorter check-in when needed, or avoiding travel after a long day. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule therapy during non-traditional hours such as evenings in Central Standard Time, which this therapist offers.
