Rachel Jones , LCPC, LPC

Rachel Jones is a Missouri-based counselor with 20 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials, both of which indicate licensure to practice as a professional counselor. Rachel draws on an eclectic set of therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Rational Emotive approaches, person-centered work, and brief focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her practice emphasizes skill development - helping clients process grief, lift mood, build coping strategies, and navigate transitions so they can meet their mental health goals. Early in her career she worked with urban youth on substance abuse issues and spent 13 years focused on addiction treatment for adults. In Hawaii she gained experience in behavior modification while collaborating with youth, families, and school staff. At Metropolitan Community College she supported displaced workers in rebuilding workplace skills for career transitions. She has also maintained a private practice for six years, offering focused help with grief, anxiety, and life changes.

Rachel earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Missouri Western State University, where she began as a music major and played in the marching band, and completed a Master of Science in Psychology at the University of Central Missouri. Outside of her professional life she enjoys nature walks, hiking, snorkeling, exploring cultures, playing piano and flute, singing, dancing, and game nights. She is close with her twin sister and family, and her cats Bob and Precious are famously well cared for.

Rachel is not trained in trauma and her licenses prevent her from working with anyone who has experienced a traumatic event. She is not currently accepting new clients and does not work with international clients.
