Dr. Jocelyn Jones, LPC

Dr. Jocelyn Jones brings more than 16 years of practice in mental health, behavioral health, and substance abuse treatment to her counseling work. She completed a Doctorate in Professional Counseling with a concentration in trauma, grief, and loss, and holds two master of arts degrees - one in counseling and another with a theology concentration. Her clinical background is supported by professional credentials that include LPC and LCDC, with LPC standing for Licensed Professional Counselor and LCDC standing for Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, and certifications in Spiritual Direction and as a Certified Anger Management Specialist II (CAMS II).

Her clinical focus extends across the adult and geriatric populations, addressing conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, bereavement and grief, isolation and loneliness, and alcohol or drug abuse. She also provides support for mood and personality disorders, neurodevelopmental concerns, anger management, and challenges related to life changes, career stress, and low self-esteem. In addition to individual work, her practice includes group counseling and education on topics like HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections, and medical-related issues.

Drawing from an eclectic, multi-modal treatment approach, she blends techniques to match each person’s needs. She offers a non-judgmental environment where clients can learn practical coping skills, decision-making strategies, and communication techniques intended to support healthier choices and renewed direction. She is committed to helping adults and older adults regain a sense of control and pursue their full potential.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by teaching acceptance of difficult thoughts and a focus on meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions or chronic stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and developing practical coping and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Dr. Jones works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors techniques from these evidence-informed approaches to fit the individual’s situation and pace.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Video calls and phone sessions allow face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging can support check-ins and ongoing skill-building between sessions. These options make consistent care more accessible for adults and older adults managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations.
