Dr. Jocelyn Jones, LPC

Dr. Jocelyn Jones is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor based in Texas with 16 years in mental health, behavioral health, and substance abuse work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, trauma, anger, sleep and eating concerns, and life transitions. She also supports issues tied to caregiving and aging.

She holds a Doctorate in Professional Counseling with a concentration on trauma, grief, and loss, plus two Master of Arts degrees including one in counseling and one with a theology concentration. Her background includes work in substance use treatment and counseling with adults and older adults. She also offers education around HIV/AIDS and related medical topics.

Her practice blends several approaches rather than following a single method. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered work. In sessions she helps people name patterns, test new responses, and practice skills that reduce reactivity and increase choice.

Sessions often focus on concrete skills - breathing and grounding, thought framing, behavioral experiments, and short-term steps that fit daily life. She also works through grief, trauma, and substance-related concerns with practical strategies and gradual exposure to painful memories when appropriate.

People meet her to manage workplace frustration, simmering resentment at home, trouble sleeping from stress, or repeated relapses in substance use. She asks about goals and what has and hasn’t worked before building a plan together.
