About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 13 years of direct therapy experience. She holds a Master of Education in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a bachelor’s degree in sociology with a minor in Black Studies. Rachel speaks English and focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, and addictions.
She has worked in community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and domestic and family violence services. That background informs a straightforward, skills-based way of working. Sessions commonly focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and building concrete coping skills.
Rachel describes her approach as client-centered and culturally aware. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and track small changes.
In practice she helps people with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, adoption and foster care issues, and problems tied to work or identity. She also addresses anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and issues connected to shame, guilt, or infidelity.
Sessions are offered in evening hours on Central Standard Time. The work is practical and structured: identify a problem, try specific strategies, and see what changes. To begin clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT sessions focus on specific skills and short-term practice that many find easy to use in everyday life.She also draws on client-centered methods, which means the work centers on the person’s goals and experiences and proceeds at a collaborative pace. Mindfulness therapy is used to develop attention and grounding skills that can reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what is working. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback shapes which methods are used.
