Laurie Jones, LMFT

Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Nevada with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and relationship concerns. Laurie creates a calm, nonjudgmental environment where people can talk through difficult moments and find practical steps forward.

She uses plain, collaborative conversation to help people understand what is keeping them stuck. Laurie blends several approaches to match what each person needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new habits.

Laurie also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and make steady choices that fit those values. Attachment-based work is part of her practice when relationship patterns and early connection issues appear. Dialectical skills are offered for emotion regulation and coping with intense feelings.

The practice supports a wide range of concerns including parenting stress, blended family issues, intimacy-related problems, body image, and issues linked to sexual or alternative relationship cultures. Laurie is experienced helping people navigate addiction, domestic violence impacts, and separation or divorce recovery.

Sessions are offered in English and Laurie works with international clients. She sees therapy as a collaborative process where small, consistent changes add up. People who want clear, practical next steps and steady emotional support often find her approach helpful.

Online approaches that fit your life

Laurie commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with attachment-informed work. CBT focuses on spotting and testing thoughts and then practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. ACT emphasizes clarifying values and taking committed steps even when hard feelings remain, which helps with motivation and life changes. Attachment-based methods look at relationship patterns so people can change how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Laurie treats the first sessions as a chance to understand the problem, goals, and preferences, then she and the client pick techniques that fit. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill teaching. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and text are helpful for brief updates, tracking progress, or fitting therapy into a busy day.
