Hi! I'm Lisa Jones, an LPC and LMFT Associate with nine years of experience, and I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's ups and downs. I work with children, teens, women, and couples, using a person-centered approach mixed with cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused strategies to keep therapy both supportive and practical. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, or finding your path in life, I'm here to help you feel heard and empowered. Together, we'll create a space where you can grow, heal, and confidently move forward.
In the first session with me, clients can expect a warm, welcoming environment where they can share their concerns without judgment. I will take time to get to know them, asking about their personal history, current challenges, and goals for therapy. Together, we will discuss the therapeutic process and identify how I can best support their needs. This session will focus on building trust and rapport, ensuring clients feel comfortable, heard, and empowered as we begin our work together.
My greatest strengths as a therapist include my ability to understand and resonate with my clients' emotions allowing me to create a supportive and validating therapeutic environment. I also approach my clients with acceptance and compassion, creating a safe space to explore any thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgement.
Lisa Jones offers therapy covered by Medicaid - Superior HealthPlan, Superior HealthPlan (Managed Medicaid) and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Texas.
In my person-centered approach to therapy, I provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients can explore their thoughts and emotions freely. My role is to guide clients in discovering their own solutions, trusting that they have the capacity for self-awareness and personal growth. By fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, I create a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
Using strategies from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and problematic behaviors. By breaking down these patterns, clients can develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to situations. I work collaboratively with clients to set practical goals and use evidence-based techniques to promote lasting change. This structured and goal-oriented approach empowers clients to gain control over their thoughts and behaviors, leading to improved emotional well-being.
In my approach to Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), I emphasize clients' strengths and resources, helping them identify practical solutions rather than focusing on problems. Together, we set clear, achievable goals and work toward envisioning a preferred future. I encourage clients to draw on their past successes and recognize the small steps they can take to create positive change. By focusing on solutions and what's working, SFBT empowers clients to make progress efficiently, fostering hope and forward momentum in a short time frame.
By using play-based strategies, I create a supportive and engaging environment where children feel free to explore their feelings through creative activities. Through this process, I help children develop emotional regulation, problem-solving skills, and healthy coping strategies. My role is to guide and support their emotional growth, allowing them to heal and thrive in a child-centered and playful space.
