Hi there! I am Lisa Jones, and I am an LPC, and LMFT Associate in the state of Texas. I specialize in working with children, teens, couples, and families. I practice from a client-centered approach focusing on the needs of the client.
My approach
My approach to providing therapy is client-centered, empathetic, and collaborative, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I emphasize creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard and supported. The most common theoretic approaches I use include Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, Brief Solutions-Focused, and Strengths-Based therapies.
My focus
I typically work with children, teens, couples, and families who face a range of issues. For children and teens, I often address behavioral problems, anxiety, depression, and developmental disorders. With couples, I focus on communication issues, conflict resolution, and intimacy concerns. For families, I work on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and navigating changes in family dynamics. I am most comfortable treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship conflicts, and trauma.
My communication style
From the moment clients step into the session, I aim to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. I emphasize an environment where clients feel accepted and free from judgment, regardless of their experiences or feelings. I demonstrate genuine empathy and understanding towards clients' situations and emotions. I view therapy as a partnership where the client's input is valued and integral to the process. I focus on clients' strengths and resilience to empower them in their healing and growth. I offer positive reinforcement and encouragement to build confidence and self-efficacy. By fostering a warm, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering environment, clients can feel supported and motivated to work through their challenges and achieve their therapeutic goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a therapist has been a deeply personal and rewarding one, marked by a combination of academic pursuits practical experience, and a passion for helping others. I served in various roles in education for over 20 years and supported children of all ages and their families. My journey has also involved significant self-reflection and personal growth. Understanding my own strengths and areas for improvement has made me a more empathetic and effective therapist.
My goals for you
Approaching goal-setting with clients involves a collaborative and client-centered process. Together, we will first assess the client's strengths and challenges. We will then explore what the client hopes to achieve through therapy. I will help the client prioritize their concerns to focus on the most pressing issues first. We will collaborate to develop an action plan and monitor and adjust the plan as needed.
My first session with you
During the first session with me, clients can expect a structured yet welcoming and supportive experience. We will take time getting to know one another and begin to build rapport.
