Getting to know Melani Jones

Hi there, I'm Melani! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) located in Richmond, Virginia, who sees clients across the state via telehealth. I earned my Master's in Social Work from Simmons College and am committed to providing client-centered care. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel empowered to achieve personal and emotional well-being through sound therapeutic interventions. **My approach** My approach to therapy is rooted in fostering a supportive and collaborative environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. I regularly utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy. I aim to provide practical tools and strategies that align with each client's unique needs and goals. **My focus** I have worked with clients from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and demographic backgrounds. I have also supported clients through different stages of life, including young adulthood, middle age, and older adulthood. I specialize in helping individuals navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, and overcome depression. **My communication style** My communication style is empathetic and supportive. I encourage clients to express their authentic voice during sessions and value open feedback to ensure their needs and goals are effectively addressed. **My journey to mental healthcare** I became a therapist because I have a genuine desire to help people navigate life's challenges and uncover their inner strengths. I have always found fulfillment in listening, understanding, and guiding others as they work toward making meaningful changes in their lives. I believe in the therapeutic process and how it can help individuals grow and work toward self-empowerment. **My goals for you** My approach to goal setting focuses on gaining a clear understanding of your goals by asking open-ended questions and utilizing active listening skills.
