About Kendall
Kendall Jones is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 25 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and sexual health.
He uses everyday conversation and careful listening to help people name what feels wrong and decide what to try next. Sessions focus on practical steps alongside noticing deeper patterns that keep problems repeating. Kendall draws on a mix of approaches and decades of experience rather than a single technique.
People often come to him feeling overwhelmed, resentful, stuck after loss, or unsure how to handle relationship strain. He also supports those coping with chronic stress, compassion fatigue, and life transitions such as end-of-life matters. He works with people who identify as LGBT and with concerns linked to polyamory and non-monogamy.
Kendall lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Therapy among his approaches. He explains ideas plainly and helps clients try small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce angry reactions and build steadier coping skills.
Sessions are offered in English from California. Kendall describes his role as companion and guide rather than an all-knowing authority, and he helps people look for meaning while also addressing immediate problems and feelings of resentment or frustration.
How Kendall’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on straightforward listening and reflection. It helps people feel heard and decide what goals matter most, which can ease anger when it comes from feeling misunderstood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down connections between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical steps people can try between sessions to reduce impulsive reactions and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. These skills are useful for handling sudden surges of anger and for building steadier responses in relationships.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Kendall will collaborate with each person to figure out what methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing one single path. That collaborative approach helps shape short-term goals and longer-term changes.
