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.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Salt Lake City, UT

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City starts with looking for identity-affirming care. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond general experience — a therapist’s listed specialties and approach should match what you want support with.

Salt Lake City has a range of mental health therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your choices, especially if you want a therapist with specific experience or prefer more scheduling flexibility. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, provides a free phone consultation, or shares identity and background details that matter to you. Reading bios can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, populations served, and approach to care before you book.

Therapy in Salt Lake City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Salt Lake City who are accepting new clients, compare bios, check appointment availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can review therapists who match your needs, accept your plan, and offer in-person or virtual appointments when you’re ready.
