“Laurilyn has a gift for balancing gentle curiosity with smart, real-world tools. She’s helped me unpack things like perfectionism, relationship stress, and overthinking but in a way that feels accessible, not overwhelming. She meets you exactly where you are: one day it's narrative reflection, the next it's a tiny mindfulness exercise you'll remember mid-week. I've been surprised at how much has shifted and how grounded I feel afterward thanks to her steady support and flexible, nonjudgmental approach. ”

Getting to know Dr. Laurilyn Jones

Please note: Citron Hennessey Therapy offers both in-network and out-of-network clinicians, depending on availability. --------------------- As humans, our own minds can be our strongest source of power or our biggest enemy–often all at once. Therapy helps you explore, accept, understand, challenge and learn to work with your own thoughts, feelings and habits. We can collaborate to help you manage the power of your unique mind to get unstuck and move forward in life. Alongside my work with individuals, I also offer couples therapy, focusing on supporting couples as they work together to build their “we”, and giving them skills they can use to resolve conflict. Curiosity inspired me throughout a 20-year career in psychological research and now, after completing a MA in Mental Health Counseling, I apply all my experience and knowledge to helping my clients manage their minds. My therapeutic style is based on nonjudgmental curiosity and warmth above all. My clients are the experts on their own lives, and together we can build a relationship that facilitates growth. I draw primarily from cognitive-behavioral therapies as well as present-focused methods such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, but I believe that a therapist should be open-minded and interactive. In my spare time, I am often meditating (very imperfectly), reading (fantasy or sci fi especially), taking long walks around the city, or embroidering or cross-stitching something in front of the TV.

Working with Laurilyn doesn't feel clinical—it feels collaborative in the best way. She brings a lightly curious, present-focused style that helps me sort through what's real for me in the moment, not what “should” be. She introduced me to small mindfulness and ACT-based practices that I actually use on hectic mornings to center myself. She’s also great with couples—she listens to both sides and finds the balance between empathy and concrete insight.
From our first session, Laurilyn brought a level of warmth and curiosity that felt both safe and energizing like chatting with a steady, thoughtful friend who truly listens. She doesn’t jump to conclusions or rush, instead, she gently guides you toward recognizing what you already know, helping you untangle thoughts and feelings with kindness and clarity. I came in feeling stuck in anxious patterns, and she’s helped me shift into a more grounded and responsive version of myself.
I was hesitant to start therapy again, but Laurilyn’s warmth and authenticity made it feel easy right away. It's clear she cares deeply checks in not just about symptoms, but about whether the pace, goals, and focus still fit you. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, or existential questions, she offers insight without prescriptive pressure. I always walk away thinking, “Okay, I think I can do this,” even when I walk in feeling lost.
Laurilyn is a very considerate and thoughtful therapist. She has great communication and listening skills. I always felt like she hears everything I had to say, and would call back to small things I mentioned only briefly which I feel is so valuable in therapy where a holistic understanding is needed she is knowledgeable, helpful and also polite. And it's clear she cares genuinely about her clients. Overall recommended!
