About Kimberly
Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.

Her style is warm and approachable. Sessions are straightforward and practical. She focuses on everyday steps that reduce distress and build coping skills.
Background and approach
Kimberly’s main clinical approach is cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. She combines this with client-centered listening and attachment-based ideas to help people feel understood and safer in relationships. She also uses motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to support change and meaning-making.
She has worked in independent practice, hospitals, group settings, and parenting classes. She has experience with telehealth and is comfortable delivering care by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. Her background includes helping people manage compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, relationship and family stress, and coping after disasters.
Kimberly encourages people to bring their whole selves to sessions. She uses guided imagery, relaxation strategies, grounding exercises, and practical behavior changes to move from feeling stuck to feeling more capable. The focus is on small, doable steps that lead to clearer thinking and better day-to-day functioning.
How Kimberly’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions use conversation and reflective listening to help people notice patterns in their relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify thoughts that increase distress and replace them with more helpful options. In video or phone sessions this looks like short teaching moments, structured exercises, and homework to practice new skills between meetings.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes being heard without judgment. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance while helping the person decide what matters most. This approach supports work on self-esteem, coping with life changes, and grief.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond in early sessions. This collaborative planning helps make online work feel relevant and focused.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
