Laurie Jones , LMFT

Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Nevada with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, and questions about identity. Laurie aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and approachable.

She offers a calm, nonjudgmental setting where clients can talk through painful events and confusing feelings. She draws on several approaches to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on practical skills and real-life changes that fit daily routines.

Laurie often helps people dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, body image, and issues around attachment or abandonment. She also supports those working through substance use, coping with life transitions, or navigating communication and commitment challenges. Her work includes attention to LGBTQ perspectives and alternative relationship and sexual cultures.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Laurie listens first, clarifies goals, and then teaches tools people can use between sessions. She uses mindfulness, behavioral techniques, and emotion-focused strategies so clients can notice patterns and make different choices.

Clients who prefer an experienced clinician who balances practical tools with empathic listening may find her approach useful. Laurie also offers coaching-style support for people who want focused, goal-oriented work alongside therapy.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking workable steps toward them while learning to allow difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and major life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and trust. It helps people understand attachment needs and build healthier ways of relating in intimacy and family matters.

Laurie will work collaboratively to find the best fit. She listens to your goals and preferences, then adapts methods so the work feels relevant and manageable. Trying an approach and adjusting it together is part of the process.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
