About Keyira

Keyira Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Illinois. She has four years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and life transitions. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk openly about their feelings and take steps toward more joy and balance.

Keyira draws on Narrative therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves.

Background and approach

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools to build practical skills for day-to-day coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies are available when trauma or intense emotions need specific attention. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth.

Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. She works on building self-compassion, motivation, and healthier relationship patterns when those areas are part of someone's concerns. Keyira has particular experience with LGBTQ concerns, trauma and abuse, caregiver strain, and grief or hospice-related issues.

She also supports people dealing with depression, bipolar challenges, anger, and challenges with intimacy or attachment. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. The counseling model emphasizes practical skills, personal stories, and steady progress suited to each person's pace.

How Narrative and Skill-Based Work Translate Online

Keyira uses Narrative therapy to help people rewrite the stories that shape their sense of self. That approach looks at how life events, relationships, and cultural messages influence one’s personal narrative and helps identify different, more helpful ways to describe those experiences.

She also employs Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and to act on personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to find and change unhelpful thinking patterns and build concrete coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood shifts.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Keyira will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Together they set small steps, review progress, and adjust techniques as needed so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or simpler for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer written conversation. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on practical change and personal stories.
