Ricky Jones

Ricky Jones is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health (LPC-MH) with 34 years of experience. He practices in Delaware and focuses on practical help for people facing big life stresses and emotional pain.

He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. His work extends to related areas such as communication problems, divorce and separation, and compassion fatigue.

Ricky emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. He adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are aimed at clear steps the person can try between meetings.

Ricky draws on a range of approaches to guide his work, including cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, DBT strategies, EMDR techniques, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. He uses these tools to address current difficulties and to build coping skills for day-to-day life.

People who look for straightforward, respectful support will find an approach that focuses on real problems and realistic goals. He encourages clients to name what matters most to them and then works with them to move toward those goals one step at a time.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day focus; it can help with stress, anger, and emotion regulation.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a structured method that addresses distress tied to past upsetting events by processing memories in a paced way. It is commonly applied for trauma-related symptoms and intrusive memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what is not.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to attend from different places. The emphasis is on practical, skill-focused sessions that fit around everyday demands rather than on a single fixed model.
