Khyra Jones, LCSW

Khyra Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and creates a calm space where clients can talk through immediate problems and set practical goals. Many people come for parenting and family stress, or to find clearer ways to communicate with others.

Her work focuses on making small, usable changes that add up. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools for managing intense emotions.

Khyra blends practical skill teaching with conversations about meaning and identity. She helps people untangle attachment patterns, address body image and self-love, and work through guilt, shame, or forgiveness. Sessions include real practice between meetings so progress carries into daily life.

Clients who have experienced panic attacks or trauma can expect a steady, paced approach that balances coping skills and gradual processing. She also supports caregivers facing chronic stress and isolation with concrete strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Khyra practices in New York and works with English-speaking clients. She offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines and needs.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online care

Many of Khyra's sessions make use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT helps people break cycles of worry and improve mood by practicing specific, testable changes. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for moments of high intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and may combine CBT and DBT tools when that makes sense. Clients and the therapist check progress together and adjust the plan as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and in-session skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a commute or low-bandwidth situations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other life demands.
