About Andrew
Andrew Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of experience helping adults who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger, or depression. He works with people navigating relationship strain and parenting challenges. He approaches each person as the expert of their own life and aims to build on existing strengths to reduce distress and find clearer direction.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on improving communication, managing intense emotions, and addressing problems like panic, mood shifts, or feelings of isolation. Andrew emphasizes small, usable changes rather than long explanations. He also helps people dealing with issues tied to attachment, abandonment, control, and the aftermath of separation or divorce.
Topics such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, money worries, and questions about purpose are addressed in calm, goal-oriented sessions. He pays particular attention to men's issues and impulsivity when these come up. Andrew is licensed in California as an LMFT, which means he holds a license as a marriage and family therapist in that state.
He offers sessions by video calls, and uses that format to keep appointments focused and accessible. He provides a mix of conversation and skill-building tailored to each person. For someone ready to change how they cope and relate, he aims to be a steady, practical partner in that work.
The first step is a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a video session to see if the fit feels right.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One approach focuses on building communication and problem-solving skills to reduce conflict and improve connection. This helps people who struggle with arguments, misunderstandings, or difficulty expressing needs. Another approach targets emotion regulation and coping strategies to manage anxiety, panic, anger, and mood swings. It teaches small practices and routines that lower intensity and increase day-to-day stability.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily limits, and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques to match those needs. Over time the plan is adjusted based on what works and what does not.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let sessions mirror in-person conversations while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates or between-session support. Together these options make it easier to keep consistent contact and apply new skills between appointments.
