Dr. Jocelyn Jones , LPC

Dr. Jocelyn Jones brings more than 16 years of experience across mental health, behavioral health, and substance abuse care to her practice in Texas. She holds a Doctorate in Professional Counseling, reflecting advanced training in trauma, grief, and loss, and has earned graduate degrees in counseling and theology. As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed chemical dependency counselor, she combines clinical training with specialized certifications in spiritual direction and anger management (CAMS II) to offer a broad, informed approach to treatment.

Dr. Jones works with adults and the geriatric community, addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, addictions, grief and bereavement, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and challenges related to life transitions and caregiver stress. Her practice also includes support for career issues, forgiveness work, veteran and armed forces issues, mood disorders, traumatic brain injury, and health-related concerns including HIV and AIDS education and counseling.

Her clinical approach draws from evidence-informed methods including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered techniques, allowing for an eclectic, multi-modal treatment plan tailored to each person. Dr. Jones emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where clients and therapist collaborate to develop coping skills, strengthen decision-making, and move toward personal goals and greater resilience.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve functioning, making it effective for mood disorders, anxiety, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore goals and build self-confidence while the therapist supports growth at the client’s pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Jones works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to best support progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and additional options such as live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to access support between appointments. For many people, these options increase convenience and help maintain consistent care while balancing work, family, or mobility concerns, and licensed professionals can adapt exercises and strategies to work well in virtual formats.
