About Rachel

Rachel Jones is a licensed counselor who brings two decades of clinical experience to supporting people facing stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, sleep problems, and other life changes.

Background and approach

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and solution-focused techniques to help clients build practical skills, shift unhelpful thinking patterns, and move toward clearer priorities and improved coping. Rachel emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and skill development so clients can practice new strategies between sessions.

Her background includes work with substance use, behavior modification with youth and families, and workforce reentry support, and she has maintained a independent practice focused on grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Rachel holds LCPC and LPC credentials and practices in Missouri.

Outside of professional life she enjoys nature walks, hiking, snorkeling, music, and time with family and her cats, which informs her warm and personable therapeutic presence.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Rachel integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop concrete coping strategies for anxiety, panic, phobias, workplace stress, and mood concerns. She also draws from client-centered therapy, providing an empathic, listening-focused environment that emphasizes the client’s perspective and personal strengths while setting collaborative goals. These approaches aim to teach skills that can be practiced between sessions and applied to everyday challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is decided together. The therapist will work with each person to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and varied communication styles. These formats let clients access care from home or work, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the way of interacting that feels most comfortable while engaging in structured, skills-based therapy.
