About Kendall

LCSW Kendall Jones has 25 years of clinical experience in California and works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and related concerns. He helps people who are dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and the strain that comes with life transitions. Kendall also focuses on LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, sexual assault and abuse, multicultural concerns, polyamory and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Kendall approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when they fit what a person needs. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand long-standing patterns and how past experiences shape current feelings.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear, practical conversation. Kendall listens for what matters most to each person and helps identify small, doable changes. He also pays attention to meaning, values, and how relationships affect mood and behavior.

His background includes a wide range of life experience and work with culturally diverse people. That history informs the way he notices cultural factors and different family systems in sessions. Kendall describes his style as accepting and focused on building strengths and hope.

People who choose him can expect straightforward, respectful work aimed at immediate coping skills and longer-term understanding. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Kendall integrates approaches in online work

Kendall commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy online. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and making space for a person's concerns so they feel heard and can explore values and meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into concrete steps and teaches practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Kendall will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and which methods fit their needs. Together they decide whether to emphasize skill learning, deeper psychodynamic reflection, or a mix of methods.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people maintain consistent sessions while working on symptom management and longer-term patterns.
