I worked with Rachel for about 7 weeks. When we started our sessions I was in a rough spot. I went through a really hard break up and didn’t really know which way to go. She not only was there to talk to me and just listen every step of the way but she gave great advice. She also recommended some great material and things for me to do on my own time that definitely helped with the healing process. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone.

I am so glad that you are here and are taking the first step to improving your life and current situation. Let me tell you a little about myself and my practice. My name is Rachel Stuart. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Mississippi with five years of experience working in a community mental health center providing individual and group psychotherapy while coordinating a Senior Psychosocial Rehabilitation Program for residents in a nursing facility. After this position, I have now been working with Betterhelp to provide individual therapy services since 2017. I received both my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Mississippi College. I am also a National Board Certified Counselor. Most importantly, I am extremely dedicated and passionate about helping others find meaning and a way to transcend the pain that is inherit in this existence.
Throughout my professional experience, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse group of individuals struggling with a variety of issues. I have a great deal of experience helping others overcome depression, stress and anxiety, grief and loss, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, difficult life transitions , and feelings of meaninglessness , isolation, and helplessness.
I view therapy and life in general as being far more complex than the medical model and science can fully explain. I see people as far more than diagnoses and will never pigeonhole them into a theoretical model, nor will I force my world views on them or assume their experiences and emotional reactions are similar to my own. My focus is on meeting each person's unique set of needs and tailoring my approach to meet those needs.
I use an integrative action oriented approach to therapy to help you focus on the issues that you would like to address in the present and your goals and expectations for the future. Together we may use a variety of methods to help you address relevant background issues, emotions, underlying thoughts and assumptions, and actions that are impacting your current situation. I utilize a humanistic approach and draw upon many of the practices of Solution Focused therapy, Narrative therapy, Dialectical Behavioral therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy.
Together we can remove the constraints of hopelessness and stagnation that you may be feeling and that you also have the power to deconstruct. My greatest joy is to be able to free people from a narrow understanding of their potentiality by perturbing change and helping them to identify overlooked themes, resources, strengths, and exceptions to their problems instead of conceptualizing their problems as fundamental character flaws or problems inherit in their biology.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little about me. I look forward to learning about you and taking this journey together towards self healing and growth.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Rachel has been an awesome person to talk to. Right off the bat she was interested in me and learning about me to better understand and help. She responds, much more quickly than expected, and is so friendly it is easy to talk and confide in her. I can’t imagine anyone not feeling comfortable with her.

Rachel is so kind, so patient, knowledgeable, and most of all- relatable! She understand what I’m working on and through, and never ceases to share useful insight into my challenges, or just be a ear to listen when I need it. She encourages me each week to take independent steps towards a healthier, more confident me, and I’m so grateful for all her attention and wise words.

Rachel is amazing! I couldn't have another counselor. I love her so much!
Rachel has been amazing! She is very thoughtful with her replies and gives very sage and timely replies.
Rachel seemed to, very early on, grasp what it was that I was going through and has such a way of working through things with you. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in any situation that you are discussing, an understanding and a desire to help that I have not felt elsewhere. She has been a tremendous help to me and my well being.
Rachel has been the best counselor I could ever ask for she is the very best and I am super pleased with her.
I am very pleased to work with her. I talked to her a little last year when I was struggling with something and it helped me out tremendously. And talking to her these last few weeks have been wonderful and she even remembered me and the things we talked about last year. It's wonderful how she listens to me, understands me, and gives me practical advice to get through things. I really appreciate her services.

Rachel is amazing! She is so kind and supportive and I feel like I’m talking to a friend! She had given me some great help with my post partum anxiety and depression and I feel 10X better since I started talking to her. I’m completely comfortable talking to her and look forward to our session every week!
Rachel is awesome!
Rachel has been such a help! I was a bit nervous about doing online therapy but my work schedule wouldn’t allow me to take the time every week to go to therapy. I actually found I like this way more than I thought I would! For the most part, I use it for weekly video meetings so it feels very much like being at therapy in an office ; however, I’m at the comfort at my own home so I feel like I’ve been able to open up more. I like the messaging if I’m having a rough moment I feel like someone’s there! In the past I was completely against wanting to try therapy but I’m so glad I gave it a try! Rachel is easy to talk to and listens well, I actually have started to look forward to managing my anxiety and our meetings on working with them. I highly recommend !
I could not ask for more. Rachel has been extremely understanding and helpful.
I feel like this is an excellent and underused tool that people could benefit from. Rachel Stuart seemed to be very good at identifying goals and suggesting exercises to help my situation. I would recommend this to anyone.
Rachel does so much to help me understand my struggles and how to fix them better. She’s very sweet and understanding and nonjudgmental!
I've been using betterhelp for a while now and have really enjoyed working with Rachel. I'm a mom to a young child and having the ability to message her or schedule live sessions is a game changer. She is very kind and attentive to my feelings and concerns and gives me helpful insight. I have genuinely appreciated her support and benefited greatly from spending time working with her.
I couldn’t be happier with Rachel. Great, constructive, advice and is so easy to talk to.

I appreciate Rachel's time and straight forward counseling. I believe I'm coming a long way and she's been nothing but a tremendous help.
Rachel is a great listener, positive, compassionate, and easy to talk to. She always provides me with feedback. I currently feel I have no one who understands, so it makes me feel good to know that Rachel is here to help me. I appreciate how relatable she is to my situation above everything.
Wonderful counselor. Understanding, fair, and knows how to guide rather than force a person to a better route. I love speaking with her.
Rachel is awesome and has been really effective in her counseling. In just 48 hours of working with her, I have managed to learn to let go of my guilt via my grief, and learned to find a better balance to help build a stronger bond with my husband. Thank you Rachel! Your work is greatly appreciated
This was my very first time ever that I've tried to get help, and Ms. Stuart was kind and compassionate. She was very helpful in assisting me with my mental stability. She was very professional, answered back in a quick manner, and made sure that I left my session feeling better. I would suggest this site to anyone and everyone who might need it. I can't think her enough for being there in what seemed like my darkest hour.
