Kimberly Jones , LPC

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience supporting children, adults, and older adults through a wide range of challenges. She has worked in settings that include private practice and hospital environments, and she has led groups and parenting classes in addition to individual therapy. Her work has included treating clients as young as three and extending to those in their senior years, reflecting a broad comfort with diverse age ranges and family situations.

Kimberly is experienced in distance counseling and has provided telehealth services for the past 2.5 years, making remote therapy a familiar and practiced part of her approach. She focuses on helping people navigate difficult transitions and see the fuller potential in themselves, addressing concerns such as life changes and adjustment, anxiety, depression, self-worth, parenting challenges, stress management, and grief.

Her foundational approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns to improve coping and well-being. She also uses tools such as meditation, guided imagery, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to help clients move from states of distress to greater empowerment. As an LPC, Kimberly holds a professional counseling license, which indicates she has met state requirements to provide therapeutic services.

She takes a relaxed, approachable stance in sessions and invites clients to bring their true selves to the work without fear of judgment. Kimberly prioritizes collaboration and supports clients as they develop new skills, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care and Growth

Kimberly draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, stress, and mood concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own insights and personal growth, which can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Kimberly works together with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors methods and techniques accordingly. That collaborative stance helps ensure the approach fits the individual rather than expecting the individual to fit a single method.

Online therapy with Kimberly can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from home, coordinate around work or family responsibilities, and continue therapy during life changes while still working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to each client’s progress.
