Rachel JonesLPC

Rachel Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a background in sociology and counseling psychology. She holds a master’s degree in Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Rachel has spent over a decade providing therapy and clinical leadership in community mental health and substance use treatment.

She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also helps people dealing with addictions, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and career questions. Rachel brings attention to multicultural factors and issues related to adoption, blended families, caregiver strain, and first responder stress.

Her approach is client-centered and trauma-informed. She draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness methods to address thinking patterns and present-moment coping. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used when people want concrete steps and short-term goals.

Sessions are provided in English and scheduled in the evenings on Central Standard Time. The LPC credential stands for Licensed Professional Counselor. Rachel’s experience includes direct therapy, supervision, and clinic leadership in Missouri settings.

People who want clear, practical tools and a respectful, culturally aware clinician may find her style helpful. The first conversations usually focus on immediate concerns, safety, and what a client hopes to change. From there she helps set small, achievable steps and checks progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort priorities and make choices. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about the client’s goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan if needed, checking progress along the way.

Confirm available session options before booking, since formats aren’t specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, especially evening hours. It can reduce travel time, allow brief check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue care during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these approaches to teach coping skills, rehearse new responses, and set short-term goals that fit into everyday life.
