Rachel Stuart, LPC

Rachel Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with ten years of clinical experience. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College and holds national board certification as a National Board Certified Counselor. Early in her career she provided individual and group psychotherapy at a community mental health center and coordinated a Senior Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program for residents of a nursing facility, and she has provided individual online therapy since 2017.

Rachel works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, family and parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem issues, career questions, and bipolar disorder. Her practice emphasizes helping people move beyond feelings of stagnation, hopelessness, isolation, and helplessness by identifying strengths, resources, and exceptions to persistent problems rather than reducing people to diagnoses.

She uses an integrative, action-oriented approach that draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Rachel describes her work as humanistic and tailored to each person - she avoids forcing a single theoretical model and instead adapts techniques to match the client’s unique needs, goals, and life context.

Rachel focuses on practical steps in the present while attending to relevant background issues, emotions, and core beliefs that shape current patterns. Her aim is to help people discover overlooked themes and strengths, to loosen rigid self-concepts, and to support meaningful growth and healing over time.
