About Rachel

Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 13 years providing direct therapy.

Background and approach

She trained in sociology and counseling psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and has held roles as a licensed clinician, supervisor, and clinic and regional director, bringing a broad background in community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and domestic and family violence to her clinical work.

Her style centers on collaboration and cultural sensitivity, drawing from client-centered principles and evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques. Rachel helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, compassion fatigue, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting and adoption-related issues, and work-related or career challenges.

Sessions are offered during non-traditional evening hours in Central Standard Time, and she provides services in English. Rachel frames therapy as a cooperative process that balances practical strategies with attention to a client's values and lived experience, tailoring interventions to each person's needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches inform online care

Rachel commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and structured strategies to address issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting a person’s own goals so that the therapist and client collaborate to find meaningful solutions and build self-directed growth.

Finding the right orientation is part of the work itself; the therapist will discuss a client's needs and preferences and adapt approaches as the relationship develops. That collaborative process helps determine when to use skill-based CBT techniques, when to prioritize reflective, client-centered support, or when to blend methods to match a client's goals.

Online therapy with Rachel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier for people with busy or non-traditional hours. These options increase flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to maintain continuity of care and use formats that fit their daily life and communication style.
