About Kimberly
Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, and shifts in life circumstances. Parents looking for practical strategies and calm guidance will find a direct, down-to-earth style.
She also supports concerns like ADHD, bipolar mood issues, relationship strain, and identity matters related to LGBT concerns. Her work is goal-focused and practical.
Background and approach
She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns so behavior can shift. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. Narrative techniques are used to reframe personal stories and make new meaning from past events.
Sessions include skills such as relaxation, guided imagery, grounding, and short mindfulness exercises that can be used between appointments. The counselor draws on motivational interviewing to encourage small, achievable steps when people feel stuck. These methods are aimed at clear day-to-day changes rather than abstract theory.
Kimberly has experience across settings from independent practice to hospitals, and she has led parenting classes and group work. She has also provided telehealth for several years and is comfortable using video, phone, chat, or messaging to meet clients where they are. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on practical tools and steady progress.
People who want straightforward coaching on parenting stress, coping skills, or mood management will find focused support. Sessions are an opportunity to try new strategies, practice skills, and track what changes over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early connections influence current relationships and patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating, which is useful for relationship stress, parenting concerns, and attachment issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions clients learn to spot unhelpful thoughts, try alternative viewpoints, and practice small behavioral changes between meetings to see real shifts over time.
Narrative therapy helps people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. Through conversation and reflection during sessions, clients can separate themselves from limiting labels and build more empowering personal narratives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions start with listening, then testing practical tools and adjusting the plan as progress is observed.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging make it easier to check in between appointments or use brief coaching in moments of need. These options help people access consistent support while balancing parenting, work, and daily life.
