Dennis Jones, LPC

Dennis Jones is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Georgia with 21 years of experience. He helps people who are facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, issues with intimacy, and concerns related to identity and self-esteem. He emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work of change.

Dennis approaches sessions as a collaborative process. He listens first and then tailors ideas and strategies that match a person's needs. He draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on solution-focused tools to identify practical next steps.

He also uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that get in the way. Emotionally-focused techniques support people who want to improve connection and emotional expression. Psychodynamic perspectives are used when looking at longer-term patterns that trace back to earlier relationships.

Dennis works with people on a range of life changes and stressors, including career shifts, parenting concerns like fatherhood issues, substance and addiction problems, trauma and post-traumatic stress, and challenges tied to prejudice or multicultural concerns. He helps clients talk through communication, commitment, and control issues that show up in relationships.

Many people come for help with identity-related matters such as LGBT concerns, living with HIV/AIDS, or coping with discrimination. He supports those navigating blended family dynamics, domestic violence impacts, or the aftermath of loss. Dennis aims to make the first step feel manageable and clear.

How Dennis’ Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It starts with listening and reflection so the client feels heard and can name what matters most. This approach helps people build on their own strengths to tackle issues like stress, self-esteem, and identity concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical exercises to change reactions to stress, anxiety, or mood problems. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve connection and intimacy when relationships feel strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try together. Clients and therapist decide what to focus on and adjust as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people choose a quieter setting for talking or avoid being on camera if that helps them take the first step.
