About Rachel
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 10 years of experience, Rachel Stuart focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, eating concerns, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career matters, and bipolar concerns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-Focused methods to address immediate problems and life goals. Rachel met her degrees at Mississippi College and holds an MS and LPC credential.
Rachel offers short-term, action-oriented work alongside deeper exploration when needed. She pays attention to current problems and practical steps clients can try between sessions. Techniques may include looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing new coping skills, and re-authoring personal stories that keep people stuck.
Her background includes several years in community mental health providing individual and group psychotherapy and coordinating psychosocial rehabilitation for residents in a nursing facility. That experience shaped her interest in combining skills training with narrative and existential approaches. Rachel has worked broadly with people facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship conflict, and life transitions.
She describes therapy as more than diagnosis and avoids forcing a single theory on anyone. Assessment and treatment move at the client’s pace, with goals set collaboratively. Sessions address emotions, underlying thoughts and assumptions, and practical actions that affect daily life.
Rachel emphasizes identifying strengths, exceptions to problems, and overlooked resources. She helps people test small changes, track what works, and build on those results to reduce stuck patterns and expand options. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-driven actions despite uncomfortable thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which is practical for mood, anxiety, and eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to reduce intense reactions and improve relationships.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Early sessions include assessing what matters, testing techniques, and adjusting the plan based on what helps.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or after work. It also lets clients practice skills in their everyday routines and follow up on homework between appointments. If needed, sessions can be adjusted for shorter check-ins or exercises that do not require video.
