About Kendall

Kendall Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people navigate depression, grief, anxiety, and life transitions. He uses a calm, compassionate stance and aims to be a steady companion through hard parts of life. Kendall writes plainly and listens closely to each person's story before suggesting ways forward.

He draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the individual's goals and values. Kendall also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and dialectical behavior skills to help manage intense emotions. His work is informed by psychodynamic ideas about how early experiences shape current struggles.

Kendall often supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault and abuse, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also helps with stress, compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts such as SAD, and the demands that come with non-monogamous relationships. He respects cultural differences and pays attention to multicultural concerns.

Sessions focus on clear, practical steps alongside deeper reflection. Kendall helps clients name what matters, try small changes, and track what helps over time. He offers a steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed, numb, angry, or unsure about next steps.

To begin, he asks about current struggles and what a better future would look like. That information guides the early sessions and shapes a plan that fits each person's pace and priorities.

How Kendall's approaches translate to online therapy

Kendall uses client-centered work that focuses on what a person values and wants to change. In practice this means sessions begin by asking about priorities, then step-by-step plans are made to meet those goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in his work looks like identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to see what improves mood and functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Kendall will explore a client's needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods to try. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan if a different blend of skills or conversation fits better.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know the available options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow follow-up check-ins that reinforce new skills. It also allows sessions to focus on practical tools, emotion regulation exercises, and reviewing real-life steps between meetings.
