About Rachel
Rachel Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship problems, parenting strain, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, bipolar conditions, self-esteem struggles, career issues, and anger.
She trained at Mississippi College, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling. Early in her career she provided individual and group psychotherapy in a community mental health center and coordinated a Senior Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program in a nursing facility. Since 2017 she has provided individual therapy services online.
Rachel uses an action-oriented, integrative approach that focuses on present concerns and future goals. Sessions look at emotions, underlying thoughts and assumptions, behavior, and relevant background. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques.
Her style treats people as more than diagnoses. She avoids forcing a single theory on someone and adjusts methods to fit the person’s needs. That can mean working on practical skills one week and examining life stories or values the next.
Rachel often helps people identify strengths and exceptions to recurring problems. She aims to reduce feelings of stagnation and to help clients develop concrete steps they can try between sessions. The focus is on what the person wants to change and the small actions that move them toward those goals.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when anger or frustration feel stuck and someone wants more meaningful behavior change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems active, teaching practical skills to respond differently to upsetting events. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that reduce reactivity in intense moments.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to try methods and see what fits their goals and preferences. Sessions can shift between skill-building, values work, and examining life stories depending on what helps most in the client’s daily life.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, let someone use shorter check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel for appointments. The practical aim is to use therapy in ways that match everyday life and to translate skills learned in sessions into real situations.
