Hello. Thank you for taking the time to invest in your healing and growth today. Whether you’re a newcomer to therapy/counseling or an experienced client, I feel it’s a brave and wonderful thing to do the work of mental-emotional healing. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress/anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQ+ related issues, grief and loss and trauma disorder such as PTSD.

Click on my calendar to book - you'll see my real availability and can choose a time that works. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with more than 25 years of experience. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to cultural diversity, LGBTQIA+ issues, ADHD, and autism. I help people thrive and improve relationships.

Welcome! What you should know about me is that I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I knew I was meant to work in the mental health field when my family would call me “the psychologist” during my teenage years. Since then, I have pursued my goal of helping others figure out how to live their best life in the midst of life’s adversities. I am ready to help you as you find your path toward love, joy, and centeredness.

My name is Dr. Bryan A. Jones, LPC, and I am a licensed professional counselor and substance abuse treatment practitioner with more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health, counseling, addiction and recovery services, spiritual care, and helping individuals navigate complex life challenges. I am licensed as a mental health professional in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida for telehealth.

I specialize in working with adults, Veterans, professionals, faith leaders, and individuals experiencing major life transitions who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship concerns, substance use disorders, recovery challenges, burnout, identity concerns, and spiritual or faith-related struggles.

I help clients by providing a compassionate, collaborative, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented approach to counseling.

I am passionate about this work because I believe people can experience healing, recovery, growth, resilience, and renewed hope even during difficult seasons of life. It is a privilege to help individuals better understand themselves, overcome obstacles, strengthen relationships, address substance use concerns, develop healthier patterns, and move toward the life they want to live.

My goal is to provide counseling that is warm, professional, practical, and purposeful—a place where you can talk openly, be appropriately challenged, develop useful tools, and move forward with greater confidence, stability, and clarity.

As a certified EMDR therapist, I believe walking with people on the road to healing and recovery brings peace, clarity and authenticity. Working with adult clients of all ages, specifically helping those who suffer from grief, trauma, and PTSD, I specialize in helping those managing anxiety, panic attacks and attachment issues to find relief and healing.

Lidiar con una tristeza profunda que no desaparece, vivir con el cuerpo en constante alerta por la ansiedad, o sentir que el pasado sigue doliendo en el presente a través de recuerdos y bloqueos, es una experiencia agotadora. Si te encuentras atravesando por procesos de trauma, estrés postraumático (TEPT), ansiedad, depresión o los desafíos de un trastorno de la personalidad, quiero que sepas que hay un camino hacia la calma.

Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.
