About Kimberly

Kimberly Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri. She offers support for common parenting and family concerns including stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges. Her tone in sessions is calm and approachable, and she encourages clients to bring their true selves to therapy.

Kimberly combines practical tools with conversational guidance so parents can tackle immediate problems and plan for change. Kimberly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT as her main framework.

Background and approach

She helps people notice thoughts that keep them stuck and then practices new ways of thinking and acting. She also incorporates relaxation exercises such as guided imagery, grounding, and breathing skills to reduce distress in the moment. Her background includes work across independent practice and hospital settings, and she has led groups and parenting classes.

She has 15 years of professional experience and holds a Missouri LPC license (MO LPC 2013023282). Kimberly has provided telehealth services for several years and is comfortable with distance sessions. In sessions clients can expect a mix of focused teaching and open conversation.

Kimberly aims to help people move from feeling overwhelmed toward clearer choices and small, steady progress. She meets people where they are and works collaboratively on goals that matter to each individual. Therapy with Kimberly is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Kimberly often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and goal oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day parenting challenges.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy. That approach emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and follows the client's lead. It helps people feel heard and supported while they work through difficult decisions and emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kimberly treats therapy as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She adapts tools and exercises to an individual's situation and checks in often about progress and preferences.

Online therapy makes these methods easier to access. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and skill practice. Phone sessions offer a simpler, flexible option when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share thoughts between sessions and get brief support as situations arise. Together these formats offer flexibility for busy parents and people managing multiple responsibilities.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
