Keiana Jones , LPMHC, LCMHC

Keiana Jones brings more than 21 years of experience delivering counseling across hospitals, clinics, schools, and correctional settings. She has worked with people of all ages - from children and young adults to older adults - and has developed expertise in a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anger management, relationship challenges, trauma, substance use, dual diagnosis, grief, parenting, sleep difficulties, and life transitions.

Her clinical style blends a preferred Adlerian perspective with an eclectic mix of evidence-based techniques. She routinely draws from client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, brief therapy models, and mindfulness practices to tailor interventions to each person. Sessions typically begin with the first 10 to 15 minutes spent processing what has occurred since the last meeting, and the remainder of the time is devoted to introducing practical techniques clients can use to manage symptoms, behaviors, or environmental stressors.

Homework is commonly assigned so clients can practice skills between sessions and then reflect on their effectiveness during the next appointment. Keiana emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a genuine approach as central therapeutic tools. She holds LPMHC and LCMHC credentials - professional licenses that indicate authorization to practice mental health counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Keiana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients can explore concerns at their own pace and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma responses, and other challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Keiana works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those living outside her immediate area. These options make it easier to maintain consistent appointments, practice skills between sessions, and connect with a licensed professional from locations that suit each client's life.
