Keiana Jones, LPMHC, LCMHC

Keiana Jones is a licensed mental health counselor with more than 21 years of experience offering counseling across hospitals, clinics, schools, and prison settings. She works with a wide range of people, including children, young adults, and older adults, and brings longstanding experience in areas such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anger management, trauma, substance use and dual diagnosis, relationship and family difficulties, grief, parenting, sleeping challenges, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Her primary theoretical orientation is Adlerian, yet she practices from an eclectic framework, drawing on client-centered approaches, cognitive behavioral strategies, brief therapy models, mindfulness techniques, and other evidence-based methods to meet each person where they are. Sessions typically begin with 10 to 15 minutes spent reviewing what has happened in the client’s life since the last meeting. The remainder of the appointment focuses on introducing practical techniques and interventions tailored to manage symptoms, behaviors, or environmental stressors identified between sessions.

Homework assignments are commonly used to practice those techniques between meetings, and subsequent sessions include reflection on their effectiveness. Keiana highlights empathy, active listening, and a genuine therapeutic presence as core strengths in her work. She holds LPMHC and LCMHC credentials, indicating professional and clinical licensure in mental health counseling, and is based in Mississippi while also accepting international clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Counseling

Keiana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify personal values and practice psychological flexibility - this approach supports work with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by encouraging action aligned with what matters most. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her practice, offering a warm, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters self-understanding and growth, which can be especially helpful for relationship, self-esteem, and parenting concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, often used for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and coping with challenging situations.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Keiana collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers accessible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it easier to attend regular appointments, practice skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care whether the client is local or international.
