My name is Melissa Jones and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the state of Georgia working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adolescents and specialize in grief and stress using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help adolescents develop problem-solving skills. The tone that I create working with adolescents is one of acceptance and motivation for change. Students enjoy meeting with me because I actively listen, validate their feelings, use humor once rapport is established, and accept them where they are. They feel that it is safe to be open and honest without the fear of being judged.
My approach to therapy is to meet adolescents where they are. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist adolescents in identifying unhealthy thoughts and replacing them with fact-based statements while building rapport that is centered on trust and acceptance.
My approach to goal setting is to help adolescents identify the problem, discuss the change they would like to see, determine what is within their power to change, and identify the steps needed to achieve the change they desire to see.
