About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She has a Master’s degree in Educational, School and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a background in sociology and Black studies. Rachel has provided direct therapy services for 13 years and has worked in several leadership roles across community mental health and substance use treatment.
She aims to create a straightforward, client-centered space. Sessions are guided by what the person brings and by practical steps they can try between meetings. Rachel listens for patterns in stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, career concerns, and challenges such as addiction or caregiver burnout.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviors. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set achievable goals. This combination is often used with trauma-related concerns, depression, and work and wellbeing issues.
Rachel describes her style as culturally aware and trauma-informed, and she pays attention to how a person’s background shapes their struggles. Evening hours are available in Central Standard Time, which may help people who work daytime schedules.
For people considering therapy, she asks for a brief matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to her listed availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s priorities to shape each session. This works well for people who want a respectful, collaborative setting and help naming what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses simple experiments and small practice tasks to test out new ways of responding. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and work-related stress because it emphasizes concrete steps and short-term skill building.
Mindfulness therapy adds attention to present-moment experience and simple grounding practices. These techniques can reduce overwhelm and help with rumination or trauma-related reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will help figure out what fits based on goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow evening appointments that work around daytime commitments. Therapists can use brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions to match what someone needs.
