“I have worked for a year now with Melinda Jones and i in my heart of hearts believe she was matched with me for a purpose! Not only does she understand the quirky nature of my personality but she is so gracious and kind and forgiving when i share with her the deepest and darkest elements of my mind. In the year i have worked with her i have abstained from drinking alcohol for 365 days straight, gained a better understanding of who i am and who i want to become and felt pain and begun healing from some of the darkest beliefs i had about myself.
Melinda is a spectacular listener and gentle human being who i would recommend for anyone who is struggling from addiction, self esteem issues or just needs a (virtual in my case) shoulder to cry on!

Getting to know Melinda Jones
Are you feeling weighed down by addiction, anxiety, or life’s pressures? Do you want to find balance, build resilience, or rediscover hope? As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over five years of experience, I’m here to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and expertise. I specialize in supporting clients facing substance use, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions, offering a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your goals.
My approach combines evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing, tailored to your unique needs. I’m dedicated to empowering you with practical tools to manage stress, improve emotional regulation, and foster self-understanding. If your personal values, including spirituality, are important to you, I can weave those into our work for a truly meaningful experience. Whether you’re seeking recovery, coping skills, or personal growth, I’ll meet you where you are with warmth and encouragement.
I offer flexible virtual sessions to fit your busy schedule, making therapy accessible and convenient. Let’s work together to transform obstacles into opportunities for healing and empowerment. Book an appointment today to start your journey toward a stronger, more hopeful you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My style is warm, collaborative, and client-centered, designed to make you feel heard and supported from day one. I believe therapy is a partnership where we work together to address your challenges and achieve your goals. Whether you’re struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, or navigating work-life balance, I provide a safe space to explore your emotions and experiences without judgment.
I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you reframe negative thoughts and Motivational Interviewing to boost your readiness for change. My sessions are tailored to your needs, incorporating your values—such as spirituality if you choose—to create an authentic healing process. For example, I might guide you to develop coping strategies for stress or explore how your beliefs shape your goals, always at a pace that feels right for you.
Expect empathy, encouragement, and practical tools in our work. I celebrate your progress, no matter how small, and gently guide you through setbacks. My virtual sessions offer flexibility to fit your life, ensuring therapy feels accessible. If you’re ready to take the first step toward growth and resilience, I’m here to support you with compassion and expertise.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first session, we’ll explore your challenges, goals, and what brings you here, setting a foundation for trust and collaboration. I’ll listen closely, asking questions to understand your unique needs, whether it’s managing addiction, anxiety, or life transitions. A typical session involves checking in on your week, discussing emotions or stressors, and using techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to reframe negative thoughts or build coping skills. For example, we might identify a specific worry and work through it together, or set measurable goals like improving work-life balance. If relevant, we can incorporate your values, such as spiritual practices, to deepen the process. Sessions are virtual, lasting about 50 minutes, and I encourage reflection between meetings, like journaling thoughts or practicing strategies we discuss. My approach is flexible, adapting to your progress, and always focused on empowering you to achieve resilience and growth. Let’s start this journey together.
