About Keyira
Keyira Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Illinois with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma and anger. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, and LGBT-related challenges.
Her approach is practical and down to earth. She helps people build coping skills and develop consistent self-care and self-compassion habits. Sessions focus on concrete tools for managing overwhelming feelings and easing day-to-day strain.
Keyira uses a few different evidence-based approaches to match what a person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques help people notice difficult thoughts and take valued action.
She also works with trauma-related concerns and uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in cases where it’s appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used when people want help increasing motivation or making life changes.
In sessions she tends to move at a practical pace. People can expect to set clear goals, try specific strategies between meetings, and review what is or isn’t working. Her focus is on usable skills for managing anger, reducing anxiety, and improving daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work
The work often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT helps people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that fuel anger and anxiety. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. These approaches are practical and can be used in sessions to plan exercises between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying skills-based DBT work for emotion regulation, CBT for thinking patterns, or ACT and mindfulness for lived values and acceptance. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. Online work can make it easier to practice breathing or mindfulness exercises in real time and to review homework between meetings.Areas of expertise
