Rachel Jones

Rachel Jones welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, or big life changes. She is Rachel Jones, an LCPC and LPC with two decades of counseling experience. Her tone in sessions is warm and straightforward. She focuses on practical steps and short-term progress that fit into everyday life.

Rachel uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person’s goals in the lead. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often include learning tools to manage panic, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, or workplace stress.

Her background includes work with urban youth on substance abuse, behavior modification work in Hawaii, and career-reentry coaching at a community college. She has spent years helping adults navigate addiction recovery and longer-term life transitions. Those experiences shape a pragmatic style that aims for clear, manageable change.

Rachel studied psychology at Missouri Western State University and earned a Master of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri. She has maintained a private practice for several years, focusing on grief, anxiety, and adapting to life changes.

Outside of clinical work she enjoys nature walks, hiking, snorkeling, music, and spending time with family and her cats. She asks that people be aware she does not provide therapy for traumatic experiences, as her licenses limit that area of practice.
