About Autumn

Autumn Jones is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach to guide people through change. She blends mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support practical steps forward. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on building trust so clients can speak openly.

Autumn holds both LMSW (licensed master social worker) and LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) credentials and brings 13 years of experience to her work.

Background and approach

She often helps with stress and anxiety, grief and depression, and problems with self-esteem and life transitions. Autumn also supports concerns related to trauma and abuse, intimacy, relationships, and career questions. She lists family and parenting among the focus areas she addresses and attends to related stresses and communication issues.

Autumn uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Mindfulness skills help people notice how they react and find simple ways to respond differently. Motivational interviewing encourages small, realistic changes that move toward bigger goals.

Client-centered work means sessions follow the client’s priorities rather than a rigid plan. Her background includes a dual undergraduate degree in psychology and sociology and a master’s degree in social work. Autumn has worked in a variety of settings over 13 years and has experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns.

She draws on that experience to help clients find balance and clarity. Autumn practices in Florida and provides services in English. She offers multiple remote session formats, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Autumn’s Approaches Translate Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. Online sessions are guided by what matters most to the person, so conversations stay practical and relevant to real-life parenting and family concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. These practices can be learned in a video or phone session and then used at home during stressful moments or caregiving tasks.

Motivational interviewing helps people clarify their goals and find small, achievable steps toward them. It is useful for making changes in routines, communication, or self-care and works naturally in short or longer remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Autumn will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then shape sessions accordingly. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to try and adjust over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is not possible, and live chat or text messaging helps with quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while focusing on concrete changes and coping skills.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
