About Francis
Francis Jones III is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arkansas with 23 years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship strain, and life transitions. Sessions address practical problems such as workplace frustration, resentment that builds over time, and difficulty with intimacy and parenting decisions.
He describes a collaborative approach that begins by listening to what matters most to each person. The first sessions usually focus on identifying patterns that make anger and frustration worse. From there he uses concrete strategies to help people notice triggers, change unhelpful thinking, and practice different ways of responding in heated moments.
Francis draws from several therapy styles to match a person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and shift thinking that fuels anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotional regulation and tolerating distress. Attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking also inform discussions about long-term patterns rooted in early relationships.
He works with a range of concerns including grief, LGBT issues, ADHD, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and blended family issues. Sessions move at a practical pace with goal-oriented steps, skill practice, and regular check-ins about progress. The payment model uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Many of the methods he uses adapt well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain anger and testing small behavior changes between sessions. This approach helps with workplace frustration, resentment, and depressive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating emotion, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills offer step-by-step tools for staying calmer in heated moments. Attachment-based ideas look at recurring relationship patterns and how early bonds influence reactions now. That perspective helps when anger links to fear of abandonment or trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work with each client to decide which methods fit the problem, goals, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative; goals and techniques are reviewed regularly and adjusted as needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer not being on camera while others like face-to-face video; these practical choices can be discussed when arranging the first session.
