About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology with a minor in Black Studies and a master’s degree in educational, school, and counseling psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Rachel has provided therapy for 13 years and brings broad experience from community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and domestic and family violence services. She prefers a warm, client-centered style that keeps the person’s goals at the center of sessions.
Background and approach
Rachel uses clear language and practical strategies so people leave sessions with steps they can try between meetings. She emphasizes cultural sensitivity and attention to how past trauma affects present life. Rachel commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, burnout, and ADHD-related concerns.
She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care issues, and career questions. Her background includes work with substance use and survivors of domestic and family violence. In session she blends cognitive behavioral ideas with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques.
Her approach is grounded and action-oriented - clients usually work on small, manageable goals each week. Motivational interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change. Rachel offers evening hours in Central Standard Time to fit busy schedules.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make ongoing work easier to keep up with.
Approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. The therapist listens closely and helps the client name what matters most, then supports small steps toward those goals. This approach helps when someone wants to feel heard and build a plan that fits their life.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions include practicing new ways of thinking and trying different actions between meetings, which can ease anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. It pairs well with CBT when people want tools to manage stress and stay present during difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so strategies stay useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates or get brief support between sessions and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing other responsibilities.
