About Ky Phoenix Jones
Ky Phoenix Jones, LMHC, is a mental health counselor in Hawaii with 9 years of experience supporting people across a wide range of settings, including work with forensic populations, adults and youth, and individuals navigating crisis situations. Their clinical focus commonly includes depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and LGBTQ+ concerns, with a strong commitment to gender-affirming care and thoughtful support for queer clients.
Ky approaches therapy from a client-centered, humanistic perspective, emphasizing respect, empathy, and the courage it takes to ask for help. They aim to offer a steady, nonjudgmental space where clients can speak openly and feel heard, while also inviting feedback to continually strengthen the quality of care provided. Ky is also a current doctoral candidate working toward a PsyD, which is a Doctor of Psychology degree.
In sessions, Ky strives to keep the tone lighthearted and informal while still being purposeful and supportive. They view therapy as a partnership and work to meet clients where they are, especially for those who have had a difficult time finding a good fit or who have experienced therapy that did not feel helpful in the past.
Ky is recently certified in EMDR and offers this approach to clients via video. At this time, they are only taking text clients. Availability is during the day on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, with additional evening hours on Mondays (HST). Messages are checked at least twice daily, with the understanding that responses may not always be immediate due to personal commitments.

Therapeutic Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Ky Phoenix Jones draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted effectively to online care. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can speak openly, clarify what they want, and build insight at their own pace, which can be especially helpful when life feels overwhelming or when past therapy experiences have not felt like the right fit.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions, then practice practical strategies to respond differently. It is often useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with difficult transitions. Ky is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an approach commonly used to help people process distressing experiences and reduce the intensity of triggers, and may be offered through video sessions when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ky collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then adjusts the plan over time so therapy feels relevant and workable.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are.
