Laurie Jones is a Nevada-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship struggles. Laurie aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and compassionate.

Her work centers on practical conversation and steady support. Laurie helps people talk through grief, trauma, intimacy-related concerns, and major life transitions such as midlife change. She also responds to issues around body image, eating concerns, and substance use with clear, goal-focused sessions.

Laurie uses a mix of proven approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, and client-centered work. She adapts these tools depending on what a person finds helpful in practice.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. Laurie aims to create a space where LGBTQ+ identities and alternative relationship choices are respected. She supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems.

Over time Laurie helps people build skills for coping and change. Sessions often include practical exercises, clearer communication strategies, and steps to manage cravings or mood swings. She partners with clients to set realistic goals and track small progress.

Laurie welcomes conversations about parenting strain, blended family challenges, divorce and separation concerns, and the emotional aftermath of domestic violence. She advises anyone interested to confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values-based action. It helps people facing midlife change, anxiety, or persistent avoidance by teaching simple acceptance and small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior. It is practical for depression, anxiety, and managing addictive urges through concrete skill practice and homework.

Finding the right approach is often part of therapy itself. Laurie collaborates with each person to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, comfort, and what proves most useful in sessions. This makes the work feel tailored rather than fixed.

The practical benefits of online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life. People often find it simpler to book sessions around work, childcare, or travel. Online work can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or an easier step-in for someone testing therapy for the first time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current options before booking so you know what will fit your schedule and needs.
