About Rachel

Rachel Stuart is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who centers her work on meaning and present-day action. She draws on existential perspectives to help people face painful life questions while using practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and depression. Rachel aims to meet people where they are and create a clear plan for change.

She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College and has ten years of experience in community mental health and individual therapy.

Background and approach

That background includes running psychosocial programming in a nursing facility and many years providing one-on-one psychotherapy. Her sessions mix big-picture thinking with hands-on tools. She may look at values and life meaning through an existential lens while using techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

She also draws from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy when those approaches suit a person’s needs. Rachel commonly helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting pressures, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem problems, career stress, and bipolar mood challenges. She focuses on what is happening now and what a person wants to change going forward.

Sessions emphasize collaboration. Rachel works with each person to identify strengths, test new behaviors, and notice stories that get in the way. The aim is clearer choices, more workable habits, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Online support

How existential and action-focused methods work online

Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and the big questions that make life feel heavy. It helps people name what matters most and face difficult feelings about purpose and loss. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice thoughts without fighting them and to act in line with their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean combining existential reflection with ACT exercises or using CBT skills for specific problems. The plan can change as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and exercises, phone can fit a short check-in or low-bandwidth need, live chat allows quick back-and-forth, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
