I am Dr. Joseph T. Jones, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist providing 100% virtual therapy and adult psychological testing across California, Michigan, and Alaska. My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in real-world strategies—not “endless talking.” Together, we focus on identifying root causes, developing effective tools, and creating sustainable change.

Comprehensive Psychological & Educational Assessments
Data-Driven Diagnostics, School Accommodations, and Clinical Clarity
When persistent challenges in learning, attention, or executive functioning impact school, work, or daily life, generic screenings aren’t enough. A comprehensive psychological or educational evaluation provides precise, objective answers to map out your next steps.
With over two decades of combined experience across school psychology, clinical evaluation, and developmental assessment—including specialized service as a San Diego Regional Center vendor—Dr. Joseph T. Jones delivers clear, actionable evaluation reports for children, adolescents, and adults.

Strategic Therapy for Adults, Couples & High Achievers
Direct, Evidence-Based Support to Break Unhelpful Patterns and Create Lasting Change
Navigating major life transitions, executive burnout, or relational stress shouldn’t be a solo mission. In a culture that often asks adults to “power through” in silence, therapy is frequently misunderstood as a sign of weakness. In reality, engaging in targeted psychological work is a strategic move—a way to gain clarity, improve leadership, and navigate life’s demands with precision.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, executive performance coaching, and a background as a U.S. Marine, Dr. Jones provides a direct, structured environment focused on practical solutions, real-world tools, and measurable progress across California, Michigan, and Alaska.
Specialized Clinical Focus:
-
Professional & Executive Burnout: Managing decision fatigue, high-stakes stress, and the isolation of leadership.
-
Gottman-Informed Couples Counseling: Research-backed frameworks to break destructive communication cycles (“The Four Horsemen”), eliminate defensiveness, and restore genuine intimacy.
-
Life & Career Transitions: Moving from survival mode to intentional living, identity beyond job titles, and navigating midlife changes.
-
Mind-Body Stress Management: Practical strategies to address physical manifestations of chronic stress (fatigue, brain fog, sleep disruption).
Rates & Setting: Individual sessions are $175 ($250 for couples), conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth across CA, MI, and AK. In-network options (Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, Blue Shield PPO) and out-of-network Superbills available.
