DeAnn Jones

My communication style

My tone is warm and conversational. While I'm trained in professional language, I know it can feel overwhelming or disconnected, so I focus on speaking in a way that's clear and relatable. I meet you where you are—never talking above or down to you—and I want us to openly discuss and define how we communicate best.

My journey to mental healthcare

My life has been filled with challenges—from circumstances and choices I've made. I know firsthand what it's like to experience loss, depression, anxiety, and dysfunction. These experiences shaped me into a therapist who deeply respects each person's journey and approaches work without judgment.

My goals for you

At the start of our work, we'll create clear, meaningful goals that reflect what you want to achieve. I may ask you to imagine what your life would look like if therapy were successful—a kind of 'backwards design' approach. From there, we work together to map out the steps to get you from where you are now to where you want to be.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll ask about your challenges and who you are as a person. There will be 'problem-free' conversations so we can connect and build rapport. Share your needs, hopes, dreams, and what you've already tried. My goal is to lay the foundation for a strong, collaborative relationship.
