Colleen Jones , LPC

Colleen Jones is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Arkansas who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She uses a straightforward, compassionate way of working that helps people talk through what feels overwhelming and find practical steps forward. Colleen makes space for honest conversations and focuses on what each person needs right now.

Her practice is built around listening first and then helping clients set small, realistic goals. She draws on client-centered methods to keep therapy focused on the person’s priorities. Colleen also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation and day-to-day coping.

Colleen has four years of clinical experience and works with a range of concerns such as midlife changes, caregiver stress, attachment struggles, and issues that can follow divorce or separation. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, guilt, shame, and family of origin or communication problems. These topics often appear alongside anxiety or depression, and she addresses them together in sessions.

In sessions she may introduce somatic techniques to help clients notice how emotions show up in the body and use motivational interviewing to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on practical skills and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

People who appreciate calm, direct guidance and step-by-step planning often find this style useful. Colleen speaks English and provides care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy is about following the person's lead, listening carefully, and focusing on goals that matter to them. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through priorities and plan steps that fit daily life.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. In online sessions those skills are practiced together and assigned as brief exercises to use between meetings. Mindfulness therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment, which can reduce reactivity. Mindfulness exercises can be guided in a video call or suggested as short daily practices over text or chat.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel like the best fit for their goals and situation. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t.

Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers no video. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing skill coaching, and quick reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
