Jones emphasizes a values-based, person-centered stance that orients work toward practical change and increased psychological flexibility. His approach weaves together cognitive-behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, existential perspectives, and hypnotherapy to tailor care to each client’s needs.

Sessions and treatment plans are individualized to help clients identify meaningful goals and take concrete steps toward them.
Dr. Jones holds the credential IL Psychologist 071002712 and draws on 20 years of practice to guide clients through evidence-informed methods toward more satisfying, values-aligned lives.
Approaches for Online Change and Recovery
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it is often useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping skills, commonly applied to mood disorders, panic, and workplace stress. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access resources for behavior change and can be incorporated into work on addictions, habit change, and anxiety.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different methods, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the best fit for the individual's needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and follow a recovery plan that includes psychoeducation, skill practice, and supportive coaching regardless of location within Illinois.
