About Rachel Jones
Rachel Jones has dedicated her career to supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. She has served the community as a Licensed Professional Counselor for 18 years and holds professional counseling licenses (LCPC, LPC) that reflect her clinical training and licensure as a counselor. Rachel uses an eclectic, skills-based approach that draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, Rational Emotive methods, Person-Centered principles, and brief focused strategies to help clients develop practical tools for processing grief, lifting mood, and navigating change.
Her early academic path began as a music major at Missouri Western State University, where participation in the marching band sparked a lasting interest in how culture and music shape human experience. She shifted her focus to psychology, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, then completed a Master of Science in Psychology at the University of Central Missouri. Those studies laid the foundation for a career that has included work with urban youth in substance abuse treatment, behavior modification with youth and families in Hawaii, workforce reentry support at Metropolitan Community College, and long-term work supporting adults with addiction issues.
Across 13 years working in substance abuse settings and six years in private practice, Rachel developed a reputation for helping individuals build coping skills and move toward their goals. Outside of clinical work she enjoys nature walks, hiking, snorkeling, exploring new cultures, and music activities such as playing piano and flute, singing, and dancing. She also treasures time with her twin sister and family, and delights in caring for her two cats, Bob and Precious.
Rachel is transparent about the scope of her work: she is not trained to treat trauma, and her licenses prevent her from working with anyone who has experienced traumatic events, even when trauma is not the primary reason for seeking therapy. When a person is ready to address grief, anxiety, or life changes through structured, evidence-informed approaches, Rachel aims to provide practical guidance and steady support toward clearer functioning and improved well-being.
