Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Nevada with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, grief, and major life changes. Laurie aims to make the first steps easier by offering a steady, nonjudgmental presence in sessions. Her work centers on listening closely to each person's story and tailoring the work to their needs. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to reduce overwhelming thoughts and increase valued action. Attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening guide how she builds trust and explores relationship patterns. Laurie often helps people who struggle with intimacy, body image, codependency, and blended family challenges. She also supports those navigating kink and alternative sex culture, domestic violence histories, and recovery from substance use issues. Conversations focus on real-life choices, clear goals, and steps that can be tried between sessions. She pays attention to identity and culture, and she names LGBTQ+ experiences as part of the work when relevant. Her style is calm, direct, and compassionate, aiming to make therapy understandable and useful. Sessions are practical and grounded in the everyday problems people bring. Laurie encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to notice what changes over time. She helps clients build new skills for communication, emotion regulation, and problem solving. If someone wants straightforward support for depression or life transitions, she offers steady guidance and collaborative planning.
