About Andrew
Andrew Jones is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship concerns, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
He meets people where they are and helps them take practical steps toward change. Andrew views the person in the room as the expert on their life.
He listens for strengths and resources and uses those as a starting point for change. He treats difficult feelings like shame, guilt, and impulsivity with direct, down-to-earth conversation rather than jargon.
Clients often turn to him for help with attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce. He also supports people dealing with panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and money stress.
Over his career he has focused on clear, evidence-based techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping. Sessions tend to be practical and goal-oriented, with room for deeper processing when needed.
He encourages small, manageable steps between sessions. Andrew offers care in English and conducts sessions from California.
He works with video calls as his main session format and combines that with other online options when helpful. He emphasizes steady progress and collaboration in planning each person’s path forward.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skill building and reducing distress. One common approach helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing, grounding, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to lower symptoms and build confidence. Another approach targets mood and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding in everyday life.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try strategies that feel workable and adjust the plan based on what produces real improvement.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls give a face-to-face experience for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging work well for short check-ins or step-by-step coaching between fuller sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with treatment.
