About Patrick
Patrick Jones is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, sleep problems, and depression. He approaches each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths that can be used to meet current challenges. He encourages clients to take the first steps toward a more fulfilling life and offers steady support along the way.
Patrick works in a straightforward, respectful way. He listens first, then offers tools that match the person’s goals. Sessions mix practical skill-building with time to reflect on difficult feelings and experiences. He aims to make room for hope while also addressing the hard parts of change.
His practice draws on several methods to suit different needs. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when emotions feel overwhelming. When trauma is central, EMDR and parts of dialectical behavior therapy can offer targeted strategies for distress and regulation.
Patrick has helped people with relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace burnout, grief, and identity concerns, including LGBT issues. He also supports people dealing with substance use, first responder stress, and co-occurring mental health challenges. His California license is listed as LPCC and he works in English.
He invites people who want practical change and steady support to consider a first session. The focus is on what matters to each person and small steps that build toward clearer goals.
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them, which is helpful for mood, sleep, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing addresses memories and reactions tied to trauma and can reduce the intensity of those reactions when trauma is a central concern.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Patrick treats the decision as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He blends techniques as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth or energy is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt the same ACT, CBT, or EMDR-informed techniques for virtual appointments to help people move toward meaningful changes.
