About Rachel Stuart
Rachel Stuart is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 10 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 is a National Board Certified Counselor, a credential that reflects national standards for counseling practice. Her early work included several years at a community mental health center where she provided individual and group psychotherapy and coordinated a Senior Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program for residents in a nursing facility. Since 2017 she has provided individual therapy through online services, bringing a broad community and institutional background to remote care.
Rachel works with people facing depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting and family challenges, issues with eating and self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, anger, and career stress. She approaches therapy from an integrative, action-oriented perspective, combining humanistic values with elements from solution-focused work, narrative practices, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral strategies. Rachel avoids reducing people to diagnoses or forcing a single theoretical lens; instead she tailors interventions to each person’s history, goals, and strengths.
Her practice emphasizes helping clients move beyond stagnation by identifying overlooked resources, strengths, and exceptions to persistent problems. Rachel aims to support clients in reclaiming a broader sense of possibility and meaning, guiding practical steps toward growth and healing while honoring each person’s unique experience.

Therapeutic approaches and online care with Rachel Stuart
Rachel draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship strain, and coping after trauma. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another influence in her work, guiding clients to clarify values and take committed action even when difficult emotions are present.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Rachel works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in session, blending techniques from different models to fit the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Online therapy with Rachel is offered through several modalities - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can increase flexibility around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to access consistent support and to continue therapeutic work between in-person commitments, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the pace and format to each client’s needs.
