About Kendall
Kendall Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people navigate strong emotions and life changes. He focuses on practical ways to manage stress, anger, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Kendall speaks English and practices in California as an LCSW.
Kendall approaches therapy as a shared journey rather than a lecture. He listens first and works at the pace each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills for day-to-day life while also making space to understand deeper patterns. He draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. Kendall also brings psychodynamic ideas into the work to help people see repeating themes from their past. This can make challenging feelings more understandable and easier to manage.
He combines these approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. Many people come to him dealing with trauma, sexual assault, hospice and end-of-life concerns, multicultural or LGBT issues, polyamory questions, seasonal mood shifts, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, or self-esteem struggles. He aims to create a steady, accepting space where people can talk through what matters most to them.
To begin, Kendall asks people to describe their goals and then chooses practical steps together. The work often mixes short-term skill building with conversations that dig into long-standing patterns. He emphasizes hope, strength, and clear next steps at every visit.

How Kendall’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy puts a person’s priorities first and guides the work at their pace. Online sessions let Kendall follow what matters to you right now, whether that means skill practice or longer conversations about life patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions Kendall helps identify unhelpful thoughts and practices small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These tools are useful when emotions feel intense, and Kendall uses them in sessions to build responses you can use between meetings.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Kendall will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together you’ll try methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues during conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and text messaging is useful for ongoing prompts and reminders. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on steady, usable progress.
