Rachel Jones, LCPC, LPC

Rachel Jones welcomes people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem struggles, career uncertainty, relationship concerns, sleep problems, and life transitions. She names practical coping and coaching among her supports and aims to help people regain balance one step at a time.

Rachel is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of work in Missouri. She focuses on clear, skills-based steps people can try between sessions. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal oriented, with attention to what feels useful in daily life.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered listening, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning. Sessions often include checking unhelpful thinking patterns, trying simple behavioral experiments, and practicing brief mindfulness exercises to calm intense moments.

Rachel built her counseling foundation working with urban youth on substance use supports and later with adults facing addiction and workplace transitions. She also helped students and families through behavior-focused work while living in Hawaii, and she has run a private practice for several years supporting grieving people and those facing big life changes.

Outside work she enjoys nature walks, snorkeling, music, and family time with her twin sister. She mentions two beloved cats at home and values simple routines that keep life steady. Rachel offers practical help and steady support for people ready to make changes.

To begin, she asks people to share their goals and current struggles so sessions can focus on real, manageable steps toward feeling better.

How Rachel’s approaches work online

Rachel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that feed anxiety, panic, phobias, or low mood. CBT sessions often include small experiments to try outside sessions and practical tools for everyday situations.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and helping people shape goals that matter to them. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort out life purpose, relationship choices, or career decisions.

Finding the right blend of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adjust the mix of CBT, client-centered listening, mindfulness, or solution-focused work to suit what’s most helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and exercises, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text allow brief check-ins and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical coping skills.
