Kimberly Jones, LPC

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 15 years of clinical experience helping children, adults, and older adults navigate life’s challenges. She has worked across a variety of settings - from private practice and hospital environments to group programs and parenting classes - and has extensive experience providing telehealth services for the past 2.5 years. Kimberly brings a calm, approachable style to therapy and aims to help clients move from a place of distress to a more empowered sense of self.

Her practice serves a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, anger, grief, self-esteem, relationship and family issues, parenting struggles, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the unique needs of LGBT clients. She also addresses related areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and communication or control difficulties. Kimberly has experience treating clients across the lifespan, including children as young as three and older adults.

Kimberly primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on how changing thought patterns and reactions can support healthier coping and adaptation. She incorporates guided meditations, imagery, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises to support emotional regulation and practical skill building. Sessions are delivered with warmth and nonjudgmental support, and Kimberly collaborates with clients to help them realize their full potential.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Kimberly often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many adjustment issues. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful for relationship challenges, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s goals and values guide the work - this approach supports self-esteem, coping with life changes, and personal growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Kimberly works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions accordingly, combining strategies from different approaches when that best supports progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home, while maintaining continuity of care when life or location makes in-person visits difficult.
