About Ivan
Ivan Jines is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Kentucky. He offers flexible appointment times, including early mornings and late evenings, to fit schedules outside the usual workday. He focuses on practical support for people facing common life pressures.
He helps people manage stress and anxiety and address anger and mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms. He also supports work on self-esteem, confidence, motivation, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be straightforward and solution-focused so people leave with clearer next steps. Ivan creates an open and nonjudgmental space where clients can talk honestly about what’s going on. He works collaboratively, listening first and then shaping a plan together.
That plan may include coping skills, communication practice, and behavior-focused tasks to try between sessions. He has 11 years of experience working with a broad range of concerns related to relationships, family patterns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, career challenges, and issues like abandonment or attachment struggles.
He also addresses topics such as infidelity, divorce and separation, immigration stress, and problems tied to family of origin. Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Practical matters like scheduling and session format are handled up front so people know what to expect.
The goal is steady, manageable progress tailored to each person’s life and timing.
Practical therapeutic options for online care
Ivan uses well established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people gain skills and reduce symptoms. One approach focuses on building coping skills and behavior changes to manage stress, anxiety, anger, and mood swings; it emphasizes simple exercises and rehearsing healthy responses. Another approach addresses relationship and attachment concerns by helping people recognize patterns, practice new ways of relating, and repair trust after events like infidelity or separation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals, try a method, and adapt based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so the plan matches their needs and preferences and can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video is useful for deeper conversations and role-play, phone sessions work well for people with less bandwidth, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging allows ongoing contact between appointments. These options make it easier to get care around work, parenting, or travel without losing continuity.
