Kimberly Jones , LPC

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with clients across the lifespan, from children as young as three to older adults, and focuses on helping people navigate difficult transitions while recognizing their strengths and potential.

Her background includes work in private practice, hospital settings, group programming, and parenting classes, and she has provided distance counseling for the past 2.5 years. Kimberly addresses a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem and identity issues, grief, parenting and family challenges, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, caregiving strain, and relationship difficulties.

Kimberly’s primary orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps people identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns to change emotional responses and behavior. She blends CBT with guided meditation, imagery, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to support clients shifting from a distressed state toward improved coping and resilience. With an approachable, relaxed manner, Kimberly invites clients to bring their whole selves to sessions and partners with them to pursue meaningful, realistic change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Kimberly often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps clients recognize and reframe unhelpful thoughts so they can respond to challenges more effectively. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many adjustment concerns.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and feeling. This approach can be helpful for people working through relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, or attachment-related stress.

Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her toolbox, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and pace guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration and emotional processing across many life issues.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Kimberly collaborates with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to use therapeutic tools in real-life contexts, while licensed professionals guide each step of the process.
