About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a strong background in counseling and program leadership. She holds a master’s degree in Educational, School and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia and brings 13 years of direct therapy experience. Rachel speaks English and practices from Missouri with evening hours to fit busy schedules.
She has worked in community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and domestic and family violence services.
How Rachel works
Those roles shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach to therapy. Sessions focus on what is useful right now and what can change in daily life. Rachel uses client-centered methods to make space for each person’s story.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Mindfulness tools and solution-focused planning are used to build small, manageable steps forward. When trauma, grief, or compassion fatigue are present she blends supportive listening with concrete coping skills.
Work may include problem-solving around relationships, parenting strains, work stress, or recovery from losses. ADHD, addiction concerns, and identity-related stress are also within her practice focus. Her style is collaborative and straightforward.
Rachel aims to help people set clear goals, practice new skills between sessions, and check progress as they go. Evening appointment times make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week.

Approaches for online progress and practical change
Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals and experiences at the center of the work. Rachel listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps shape sessions around each person’s priorities. This approach supports people who need space to tell their story and set their own direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. Sessions often include small exercises and experiments to test new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or low mood. That makes CBT useful for mood, anxiety, and many day-to-day struggles.
Mindfulness work brings simple attention practices into sessions to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These practices can support trauma recovery, burnout, and coping with strong emotions by teaching brief, practical ways to pause and regroup.
Rachel treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adapt plans based on what helps. Together they decide what to keep doing and what to change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings and other busy times.
