About Rachel

Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 13 years of direct therapy experience. She studied sociology and black studies at the bachelor level and holds a master’s degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Rachel works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addiction, and anger among other concerns.

She has worked across community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and services for domestic and family violence. Before focusing on clinical practice she has held roles as a supervisor and clinic and regional director. That background informs a practical, organized approach to therapy.

Rachel uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques depending on a person’s goals. Sessions emphasize clear, usable strategies for managing strong feelings and repairing relationships.

Her work includes attention to family of origin issues, parenting and blended family challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and multicultural matters. She also helps people dealing with guilt, shame, infidelity, isolation, and first responder stress.

Sessions are offered in English. Her listed hours are evenings in Central Standard Time, which can help people who work daytime hours. To begin, follow the directory’s guidance to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Rachel often combines client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-centered work focuses on what matters to the person and uses listening and reflection to shape goals. CBT breaks down patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific tools to reduce distress and handle strong emotions.

She also uses mindfulness practice to help people notice sensations and reactions without getting swept up in them. That can be useful for managing anger, stress, and anxiety by creating small pauses between feeling and response. These approaches suit problems like worry, grief, addiction-related triggers, and relationship strain.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to try different methods, review what helps, and adapt based on goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together during early sessions.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions fit a busy life by avoiding travel, making it easier to schedule evening appointments, or allowing shorter check-ins when time is limited. Speak with the matching process to learn the current session arrangements and choose what fits your routine.
