About Rachel
Rachel Stuart is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She brings 10 years of clinical experience and a commitment to helping people move past pain and find meaning. Rachel uses practical, action-focused work to address current problems and future goals.
She writes and listens with care, aiming to tailor each session to the person's needs. Rachel trained in psychology and mental health counseling at Mississippi College, where she completed both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
How Rachel works
Much of her early work was in a community mental health center where she provided individual and group therapy and coordinated a psychosocial rehabilitation program in a nursing facility.
Over the years she has worked with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, eating concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career changes, and bipolar mood challenges. She emphasizes seeing people beyond labels and avoids fitting anyone into a single theory. Her approach is integrative and humanistic.
Sessions often focus on present issues, emotions, underlying thoughts, and practical actions to change daily life. Rachel draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy as tools to meet each client’s needs. She aims to uncover strengths, exceptions, and overlooked resources rather than treating problems as fixed traits.
Rachel works collaboratively to help people identify meaningful steps forward and build a life that reflects their values.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can help with stress, anxiety, and mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It is especially useful for intense mood swings, anger, and overwhelming stress.
Rachel treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try together. If something doesn't fit, she adjusts the plan so work stays relevant and doable.
Online sessions can match how people live today. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work for people who prefer written check-ins or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to work therapy into busy days and to try different formats as needs change.
