Background and approach
She has worked extensively with adults and older adults on issues such as bereavement, trauma, mood disorders, and substance use. Her background includes work with people facing caregiver strain, aging concerns, and medical-related challenges. Her approach blends several methods to match what each person needs.
She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to help people live toward their values even with difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions often include practical skill work - communication strategies, coping tools, and decision-making support.
Motivational interviewing is used when people are ready to change substance use or other habits. Dialectical behavior ideas are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. People can expect a nonjudgmental setting where the focus is on achievable steps.
Dr. Jones emphasizes skills that fit daily life, like sleep routines, managing anger, or handling work stress. She helps people identify goals and practice new habits between sessions.
Her work also covers specialized topics such as HIV/AIDS education, traumatic brain injury concerns, and seasonal mood shifts. The aim is to give clear, usable tools so people feel more capable and in control of day-to-day challenges.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps toward the life you value. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and struggles where avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep, and managing ADHD-related routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily demands, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so the plan fits the client's preferences and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, and ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
