Kendall Jones

Kendall Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. He speaks plainly and listens closely, offering steady support when emotions feel overwhelming or confusing. Kendall aims to meet people where they are and walk alongside them as they sort out what matters next.

He draws on a client-centered stance that centers each person's perspective. Kendall also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to look at how thoughts and actions affect mood, and dialectical behavior therapy to build practical emotion-regulation skills. He incorporates psychodynamic ideas when looking at long-standing patterns that keep coming up.

Kendall frames therapy as a collaborative journey rather than a lecture. Sessions often focus on small, doable changes such as practicing new coping skills, naming and exploring stuck feelings like anger, or testing different ways of relating to others. He also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault, hospice and end-of-life concerns, multicultural challenges, and non-monogamous relationship topics.

With experience across diverse cultures and many years in practice, Kendall aims to combine real-world wisdom with clinical approaches. He helps people build strength, find meaning, and regain a sense of direction after painful events or ongoing stress.

Based in California, he works in English. Kendall invites people to begin by describing their current struggles and goals so they can shape a plan that fits their needs.

How Kendall Uses Practical Therapies Online

Kendall commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in his work. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work he does with each person. He collaborates to identify the strategies that best match a person's goals, struggles, and day-to-day life. That means trying skill-building, exploring patterns, or mixing methods until something fits.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats Kendall currently offers before booking. Confirming format options lets you pick what works best for your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. The aim is to make therapy usable and effective within real life, while the therapist and client adjust methods to match the client's needs.
