Kimberly Jones , LPC

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, parenting strain, grief, and challenges related to LGBT issues. Kimberly also works with people facing trauma, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue.

She uses clear, practical approaches in sessions. Conversations are down-to-earth and goal-focused. She encourages clients to bring their true selves and aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for talking things through.

Kimberly’s primary approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. She pairs that with techniques such as guided imagery, relaxation, grounding, and motivational interviewing to help people move from feeling stuck to taking steps forward. Narrative and attachment-based ideas also shape how she listens to a person’s story.

Her background includes work across private practice and hospital settings, group work, and parenting classes. She has 15 years of experience and has provided telehealth services for several years, so she is familiar with distance counseling formats. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs.

Clients can expect straight talk, practical tools, and a collaborative plan. Kimberly helps people identify patterns, practice new skills, and manage life changes so they can feel more capable day to day.

How Kimberly's Approaches Work Online

Kimberly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, which translates well to online sessions when the focus is on exercises, homework, and short skill practice between meetings.

She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current reactions. Client-centered therapy means conversations are guided by the person's priorities, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection rather than direction alone.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Kimberly will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on how someone responds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and guided practices, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work practical and goal oriented.
