Rachel Stuart

Rachel Stuart is a licensed mental health professional in Mississippi who brings ten years of clinical experience to her work. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. She is licensed in Mississippi as a professional counselor (license number 1857) and is also a National Board Certified Counselor.

Early in her career she spent five years at a community mental health center, providing both individual and group psychotherapy and coordinating a Senior Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program for residents of a nursing facility. After that role, she began providing individual therapy services with Betterhelp in 2017.

Rachel has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, challenging life transitions, and feelings of isolation or meaninglessness. She treats people as more than diagnostic labels and adapts her approach to each person’s unique needs rather than fitting them into a single theoretical model or imposing her own worldview.

Her therapeutic style is integrative and action-oriented, focusing on present concerns and future goals. She draws from humanistic principles and incorporates methods from Solution-Focused therapy, Narrative therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotions, underlying thoughts and assumptions, relevant background issues, and practical actions that affect day-to-day life.

Rachel’s work centers on helping people move beyond hopelessness and stagnation by facilitating change and helping clients identify overlooked themes, strengths, resources, and exceptions to their problems rather than viewing difficulties as fixed character flaws or purely biological conditions. She looks forward to learning about each person she works with and supporting their journey toward healing and growth.
