Valorie Jones, LPC

Valorie Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 11 years of experience in mental health and substance use concerns. She brings a practical, respectful approach to sessions and focuses on helping people make steady changes. Her style is warm and interactive and she works to create a space free of stigmatizing labels.

In sessions she helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, relationship strain, grief, and issues with intimacy. She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating struggles, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career shifts, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and multicultural concerns.

Her work blends client-centered methods with cognitive and emotional approaches. She uses tools that help people spot unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and strengthen emotional connection where it’s needed. Conversations and treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and life situation.

Valorie also has experience related to substance use and addiction concerns. She offers life skills coaching, psychosocial rehabilitation, and case management ideas when appropriate to support transitions and daily functioning. The aim is to build confidence, practical coping, and clearer direction.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Therapy is presented as a collaborative process focused on realistic steps toward a more balanced life.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and following their lead. It helps people feel heard and supports goals like building confidence or working through life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice patterns of thought that fuel anxiety, depression, or addictive behavior and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. It is often useful for stress, mood concerns, and behavioral changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, trains specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving frustration tolerance, and reducing self-destructive actions. It can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or during recovery from substance use.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm what formats Valorie currently offers before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Different approaches shape session tasks - CBT often uses homework and exercises between meetings, while client-centered work may focus more on open conversation and immediate concerns.
