Andrew Jones, LMFT

Andrew Jones is a licensed clinician in California with 25 years of professional experience as an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, mood concerns, relationship challenges, parenting difficulties, anger management, and personality disorder presentations. Andrew approaches each person with the belief that they are the expert in their own story and that their existing strengths are central to moving through what feels difficult.

He emphasizes collaborative support and recognizes that taking the first step toward a more satisfying and happier life takes courage. Andrew aims to help clients build on their strengths, develop practical skills, and navigate relationship and emotional struggles with clear, steady guidance. He offers encouragement and focused therapeutic support to help clients pursue meaningful change.

At this time Andrew is accepting clients who are willing to participate in video sessions only, and he will work with individuals who seek therapy through that format.

Approaches for Online Work with Emotion and Relationship Concerns

Andrew uses evidence-based, practical approaches that focus on skills and insight. One approach emphasizes skills-based work to build coping strategies for stress, anxiety, panic, and mood difficulties - teaching concrete tools clients can use day to day to manage symptoms and regain stability. Another approach is attachment-informed and relationship-focused work that explores patterns around communication, abandonment, and connection to improve relationship functioning and reduce isolation. A third strand concentrates on emotion regulation and anger management techniques to help clients respond differently to strong feelings and impulsivity.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Andrew will work together with each client to identify goals, assess what feels most helpful, and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, values, and preferences so progress feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect from different locations. For clients who prefer face-to-face interaction, video sessions allow nonverbal cues and a more interpersonal experience, while phone and messaging options can be useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These formats help licensed professionals and therapists maintain continuity of care and make consistent progress with clients.
