Getting to know Melissa Jones

Hi there, I'm Melissa! My name is Melissa Jones, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I specialize in helping adolescents navigate grief and stress using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to develop effective problem-solving skills. My approach I meet adolescents where they are, using CBT to help them identify unhealthy thoughts and replace them with fact-based statements. Building rapport centered on trust and acceptance is key to my work. My focus With over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, I am comfortable supporting those dealing with stress, anger, and grief. My communication style I create a tone of acceptance and motivation for change. Students appreciate that I actively listen, validate their feelings, use humor once rapport is established, and accept them as they are. They feel safe being open and honest without fear of judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist has been lifelong. I developed a passion for the helping profession in college. Adolescence can be challenging and confusing as young people prepare for adulthood and independence. I enjoy supporting them in developing lifelong problem-solving skills and reaching their goals. My goals for you I help adolescents identify the problem, discuss the changes they want to see, determine what is within their power to change, and identify the steps needed to achieve those changes.
