About Amalia

Amalia Jones is an LCSW with 11 years of clinical experience who helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients develop coping skills, manage symptoms, and pursue clearer goals in work and personal life. Her practice also attends to intimacy-related issues, LGBT concerns, compassion fatigue, and career or purpose questions, as well as several specialized areas such as caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and multicultural concerns.

Her style blends direct skill-building with empathetic listening, creating space for clients to explore painful memories and present-day patterns while learning concrete strategies to reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a core approach she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop healthier behaviors, and she integrates that framework with attention to each person's values and context.

Based in Tennessee, she holds Tennessee and Oregon licensure credentials and frames work around collaboration, respect for lived experience, and practical steps toward recovery and growth.

CBT-informed care delivered online

Amalia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT typically involves setting concrete goals, tracking thoughts and behaviors, and practicing new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address relationship patterns. This approach is particularly useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem or coping.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative decision-making about methods and priorities. She works with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs and values, adjusting techniques over time so therapy aligns with the client’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it possible to engage in regular skill-building and therapeutic work without rearranging major commitments, and they allow licensed professionals to support progress even when in-person meetings are impractical.
