About Kendall
Kendall Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and life transitions. He approaches therapy as a companion on a personal journey, offering steady support while people make sense of painful feelings or confusing changes.
Kendall says many clients come because they feel lost, overwhelmed, or hurt by relationships and life events. He listens closely to each person’s story and helps them notice strengths they can use. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as deeper meaning so that progress addresses both daily struggles and lasting change.
His practice draws on client-centered work that prioritizes the person’s goals and perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and dialectical behavior skills to build emotional regulation and coping. Kendall weaves in psychodynamic reflection when it helps to track repeated patterns from the past.
Kendall brings a multicultural outlook shaped by travel and long experience with diverse communities. He names issues like LGBT concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and compassion fatigue among areas he addresses. He also supports people dealing with bipolar disorder, seasonal mood changes, sexual assault, and intimacy-related distress.
Based in California, Kendall offers therapy in English. His practice aims to combine realism with hope so people can take clear next steps and feel less alone during hard times.
How Kendall’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s goals. Online sessions can give space for honest conversation and for building a trusting connection over time. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify thought patterns and practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT exercises can be assigned between sessions and tracked during online meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. Those skills are well suited to practice in regular remote sessions and brief check-ins.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kendall will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He adjusts techniques as progress is made and as priorities shift, so the plan evolves with the client rather than following a rigid template.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when that helps. It also lets people use written worksheets, screen-sharing, and step-by-step skills practice during a meeting, which can speed learning and support real-world changes.
