Kendall Jones, LCSW

Kendall Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with anger, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and his practice includes work with LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and care around end-of-life concerns.

Kendall uses straightforward conversation to help people name what is happening and figure out next steps. He draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the person's own goals. He also brings techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach concrete skills for managing strong emotions.

His background includes many years of clinical work and broad life experience across cultures and settings. That mix informs how he listens and how he helps people make sense of difficult feelings like anger or resentment. He describes his approach as accepting and strength-affirming while focusing on practical strategies.

In sessions he will often combine talking about how past experiences shape current reactions with skill-based exercises you can try between appointments. That can mean learning new ways to respond when frustration rises or testing small behavior changes at work or at home. He aims to help clients find meaning and steadier ways to handle hard moments.

People who choose Kendall typically want a calm, direct collaborator who pays attention to life context and cultural differences. To start, he asks about what matters most to you and what you want to change, then shapes sessions around those priorities.
