Kimberly Jones, LPC

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and life transitions. She also supports those facing trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related stress.

Her usual approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She uses clear, practical steps to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions are relaxed and nonjudgmental, with space for honest conversation about what’s most troubling.

Kimberly also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods to understand how past relationships shape current feelings. She may use motivational interviewing to clarify goals and narrative techniques to help people reframe difficult stories about themselves. Practical tools can include guided imagery, grounding, relaxation exercises, and brief meditations.

She has experience in hospitals, private practice, group work, and parenting classes, and has provided distance counseling for several years. This background shapes a flexible style that fits different routines and needs. Kimberly describes her role as a companion in the process - helping people test new ways of thinking and acting, and noticing what leads to small, steady change.

People who prefer straightforward, skills-focused therapy often find her approach helpful. She invites clients to bring their real selves to sessions and works collaboratively to set achievable steps toward feeling better.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Kimberly commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thought and trying practical experiments to change unhelpful reactions; it helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and connection needs and can help with relationship worries and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, accepting stance where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies, review what works, and adjust the plan so treatment fits the person’s lifestyle and aims.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, ongoing feedback, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
