About Rachel
Rachel Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem problems, career decisions, and bipolar-related issues. She offers practical, action-focused therapy aimed at the problems people bring now.
Rachel trained in mental health counseling and has practice experience in community mental health settings and in individual care. Her earlier work included coordinating a psychosocial rehabilitation program for nursing facility residents and providing both individual and group psychotherapy. She later moved into providing individual therapy services through an online counseling service starting in 2017.
Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused techniques. Sessions focus on current concerns, the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and concrete strategies to try between meetings. She describes her method as integrative and action oriented.
Rachel emphasizes seeing people beyond a diagnosis. She looks for strengths, themes, and exceptions to problems rather than labeling a person by symptoms. Work often involves clarifying goals, testing new responses, and addressing background issues that affect present functioning.
Practical steps in therapy include identifying unhelpful thinking, practicing new coping skills, and making small behavior changes. Rachel aims to help people shift stuck patterns and find more meaningful ways to move forward.
How her approaches shape online sessions
Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small experiments to test new responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect what matters most; it helps with anxiety, depression, and issues tied to meaning or avoidance.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when strong feelings interfere with daily life. Together these approaches give clear, practiceable skills and steps to work on between sessions. Deciding which methods to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand it. It can also let people use video or audio depending on comfort and bandwidth. Rachel aims to help clients find practical ways to apply therapeutic skills in daily life rather than promising a particular format.
