About Rachel
Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology, a minor in Black Studies, and a master's degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia.
She has provided direct therapy for 13 years and brings broad experience from community mental health, substance use treatment, and work addressing domestic and family violence. Rachel tends to keep sessions practical and grounded.
Background and approach
She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, career questions, addiction concerns, and identity issues related to LGBT matters. Her style is client-centered and culturally aware.
She uses somatic practices to help people notice what their bodies are holding. She combines that with cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to make change feel doable. Sessions are available in English and offered in the evenings in Central Standard Time.
Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. International clients are not currently accepted. Rachel aims to work collaboratively.
She listens for what a person needs and shapes sessions around practical steps and felt experience. People who want straightforward, body-aware work paired with talk therapy may find her approach useful.
Body-aware and practical approaches for online care
Somatic Therapy helps people tune into physical sensations and how stress shows up in the body. It can be useful for trauma, anxiety, and when talk alone feels incomplete. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities, giving space for what matters most and helping people feel heard without judgment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together, offering clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits each person's goals, comfort level, and needs. That may mean trying somatic practices in one session and cognitive tools in the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy flexible for busy schedules. Evening hours in Central Standard Time can help people who work during the day. These online formats let people access consistent support from home and choose the way of communicating that feels easiest for them.
