Therapists Beginning With O in South Dakota

I provide counseling services to individuals ages 18 and older in a compassionate, confidential, nonjudgmental setting. I use an eclectic approach in sessions, typically applying strategies from SFBT, CBT, ACT, Existentialism, and Person-Centered Theory in my work with clients. Focused areas of service include: depression; anxiety; ADHD; emotional adjustment to living with a brain injury; compassion fatigue and burnout; navigating change and life transitions; grief and loss; self-esteem; wellness and self-care; women's issues; and stress management.

Did you know 1 in 5-7 birthing persons experience perinatal depression? Or that pregnancy and infant loss affects 1 in 4 birthing persons? We are not alone. With specialized training, I aim to help women and birthing persons feel safe, heard, and hold space while we work together to build a better life.

Are you wondering how to help your sad or anxious child? Or wondering how to respond to the up and down moods of your teen? If you feel your child is struggling inside their home, at school or in their social environments and you feel everything you’ve tried isn’t working then that is where I come in. I am here to help you navigate through these difficult times. As a parent, you want nothing but the best for your child, but sometimes situations occur that you simply can’t “fix” on your own. That is when it’s best to call upon someone with expertise in the area. I would be happy to help you through these difficult times.

Virginia Jones is NOT accepting new clients at this time. Clients who find my services helpful oftentimes have daily self-care lacking, experiencing low mood and a general dissatisfaction with life. Some just feel that things should be different but feel helpless to make these changes or have tried over and over to change with no clear results. They want and need to feel better and are looking to feel they can manage the day without overwhelming fear or crippling anxiety.

My goal as a therapist is to create a comfortable and safe space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. My practice focuses on meeting you where you are at with validation, empathy, and nonjudgement. Wellness involves every aspect of our lives, so it’s important to take a holistic approach and build a strong foundation to move you towards a satisfying life. I believe in the power of positive thinking, identifying and validating our emotions while also acknowledging the impact that trauma, pain, and stress can have on an individual. I value your uniqueness and understand that each client has unique needs in a therapeutic space.

I have a passion for working with behaviorally challenging kids, their parents, and women. I enjoy the process of sorting through the outward difficult behaviors and discovering the root of their actions. I have worked with troubled teens and tweens for more than 14 years and have discovered that there is always more than meets the eye with these youngsters. The teenaged years and the few preceding years are difficult times not only for the kids, but parents and caretakers. It may seem that nothing helps manage their behaviors and emotions. I can help kids and their parents find solutions to defiant behaviors.
