About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem issues, career questions, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and the specific pressures of young adulthood.
Rachel uses straightforward, skills-focused work in sessions. She draws on Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques. Sessions often include learning practical coping skills, trying small behavior changes, and practicing ways to manage anxious thoughts.
Her early training included a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Missouri Western State University and a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri. Rachel’s first counseling role involved supporting urban youth with substance use concerns, and she later worked extensively with adults on addiction and workplace re-entry skills.
Over time she added experience in behavior modification while working in Hawaii and supported displaced workers at Metropolitan Community College. She has run a private practice for six years helping people navigate grief, anxiety, and life transitions. Rachel notes she is not trained in trauma and does not work with people who have had traumatic experiences.
Outside of practice she enjoys nature walks, hiking, snorkeling, music, and time with family. Her personal interests inform a relaxed, relatable style that focuses on clear steps and usable strategies.
How Rachel’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person’s concerns. It supports talking through what matters most and shaping sessions around a person’s priorities. This approach can help with relationship stress, low self-esteem, and feeling uncertain about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. CBT offers concrete tools for anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and workplace stress by practicing new thinking and coping strategies in everyday life.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with the client to decide which methods match their goals and comfort level. That might mean combining listening-focused sessions with CBT skill practice or short solution-focused meetings to tackle a specific problem.
Confirm the session formats available before scheduling, since the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or commute breaks, avoid travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists commonly adapt exercises, homework, and mindfulness practices to an online setting so the work fits into daily life rather than taking extra time.
