Meet Kelli Jones – Helping College Students Find Calm, Clarity, and Confidence

College life can be exciting, but it can also be a lot—deadlines, exams, friendships, dating, family expectations, jobs, and figuring out your future. It’s normal to feel stressed, anxious, or unsure about your next steps. That’s where Kelli Jones comes in.

Kelli is a warm, approachable therapist who specializes in helping college students navigate the challenges and changes of this unique stage of life. She knows that your college years aren’t just about academics—they’re about learning who you are, finding your place in the world, and handling the pressures that come with new independence.

In her sessions, Kelli creates a safe, judgment-free space where you can talk openly about what’s on your mind—whether that’s stress about classes, feeling disconnected, navigating relationship ups and downs, or just feeling “off.” She blends compassion with practical strategies so you not only feel heard and understood, but also leave each session with tools you can use right away.

Kelli especially loves working with students to:

Manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

Build confidence and self-esteem

Navigate changes in friendships, dating, and family life

Cope with homesickness or big life transitions

Create healthier routines and boundaries

Find balance between academics, work, and personal well-being

Students often say Kelli has a calming, encouraging presence that makes it easier to open up—even about tough topics. She believes therapy should feel like a supportive partnership, where you’re an active part of setting goals and creating solutions that fit your life.

Kelli understands that reaching out for help can feel intimidating, so she works hard to make the process comfortable and stress-free. You don’t have to have all the answers—or even know exactly what you want to talk about. You just need a place to start, and Kelli will walk alongside you from there.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, stressed, or just ready to focus on your well-being, working with Kelli can help you find the clarity and confidence you need to thrive in college and beyond.

Your mental health matters. Your story matters. And Kelli Jones is ready to help you write your next chapter.
