Rochelle Jones

Rochelle Jones

Therapist

Virtual • Utah


Hi, I’m Rochelle. I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, and my goal is simple — to help you feel better, think clearer, and live your best life.

My sessions are warm, honest, and conversational. I don’t just listen — I teach practical tools and life skills you can actually use to manage stress, handle emotions, and build healthier relationships. Together, we’ll work through what’s weighing on you and find new ways to create peace and balance.

I take a whole-person approach — mind, body, and spirit — and I especially enjoy helping adults who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of their next step. Therapy with me feels like a safe, supportive space to learn, grow, and start feeling more like yourself again.

When life gives you lemons...

My education gave me the tools to be a skilled clinician. But it was my own trauma that gave me the insight and depth I bring to this work. I know what it feels like to live in a body that doesn’t feel safe—to question everything, including yourself. I spent over a decade learning how to heal, reclaim my voice, and become the kind of guide I once needed.

In the midst of that long journey, I had a quiet moment of clarity: what I was going through wasn’t just about survival—it was about becoming someone who could walk with others through the dark. That experience grounds my work in both knowledge and deep compassion.

Learning to love the desert

I’ve come to believe that being lost isn’t a problem—it’s part of the path. Like La Loba, the mythical bone-gatherer who wanders the desert collecting what’s been buried and brings it back to life, I help others gather what they’ve lost along the way. That process is sacred, slow, and often surprising—but it’s how we come home to ourselves.

There are parts of you that haven’t died; they’ve just been waiting. And sometimes, when it all falls apart, that’s when the wild, wise parts of you rise again.
