About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Educational, School and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia. She brings 13 years of direct therapy experience and a broader 17-year background in mental health roles. Rachel practices from Missouri and conducts sessions in English.
She has worked in community mental health, career counseling, substance use treatment, and domestic and family violence services. That variety shaped a practical, down-to-earth way of working with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addiction.
Background and approach
Anger is one of the concerns she helps people address in sessions. Rachel uses client-centered methods that help people lead the conversation about what matters to them. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness skills to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want clear steps and short-term goals. Her style is culturally aware and trauma-informed, which means she pays attention to how culture and past experiences affect how someone copes now. Sessions tend to be practical and collaborative, with an emphasis on small, useful changes.
She offers nontraditional evening hours in the Central time zone for people who work daytime schedules. Rachel aims to help people build manageable strategies for coping, improving relationships, and reducing the impact of stress. People who want straightforward, goal-oriented conversations about emotions, behavior, or life transitions may find her approach fits their needs.

Practical approaches for online sessions and goals
Rachel blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people manage distress. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them identify what matters most and decide what to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot patterns of thinking that maintain worry or anger and encourages testing alternative actions to see what changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus during stressful moments.Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Rachel will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what feels useful and what produces small, achievable progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face from different places, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for brief updates, real-time coping support, or work between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into evenings or work breaks and to maintain momentum on goals without extra travel.
