About Laurie

Laurie Jones is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Nevada with 25 years of clinical experience. She has guided people through a wide range of challenges including depression, anxiety, addictions, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns, and brings a steady, empathic presence to each therapeutic relationship.

Background and approach

Her LMFT credential signals training in relational and systems-based thinking applied to individual concerns and interpersonal patterns. She uses an integrative, client-centered stance that draws on evidence-based methods such as Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed work, and cognitive-behavioral techniques.

Laurie aims to tailor interventions to each person's priorities, whether that means addressing communication problems, navigating life changes, exploring identity and intimacy issues, or managing symptoms like mood instability or substance use. Her practice welcomes diverse experiences and works with matters related to kink and alternative sexual cultures, blended family dynamics, parenting strains, and community-specific stressors.

Therapy with Laurie emphasizes collaboration and practical skills alongside deeper exploration of patterns like abandonment, codependency, or avoidant tendencies. She supports clients at many points in life who are seeking clearer values, improved coping, and more constructive connections with themselves and others.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Internal Family Systems (IFS) views the mind as made up of parts with different roles and intentions; work in this model helps people develop an accepting inner leadership so they can reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma or attachment wounds. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values, practicing mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed action toward meaningful life directions, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current connections and aims to repair and strengthen emotional bonds and safety within close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself, and the therapist collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. Laurie integrates these approaches rather than prescribing one single method, adjusting the balance of skills work, values exploration, and relational repair as the work unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These options allow clients to receive ongoing support while balancing work, family, travel, or geographic limitations, and make it possible to continue therapeutic momentum across transitions and changing life demands.
