I am a licensed professional counselor doing business as Jones Professional Counseling, LLC in Conway, Arkansas. I graduated from Hendrix College in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. I earned my master’s degree in professional psychology from Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in 1998. My grandfather, who in addition to being a terrific companion in any outdoor activity, was one of the first PhD psychologists in the state of Missouri, and very influential in my decision to be a licensed professional counselor. And I, too, love spending time outdoors.
Most of my work has been with youth and adults who have personal, family and/or relationship issues. I find that using combinations of the individualized cognitive behavioral therapy approach (CBT) and important aspects of the Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches has been the most effective and useful therapeutic tools for my clients.
After earning my master’s degree in 1998, I began working with emotionally challenged youth at Boys’ and Girls’ Town in St. James, Missouri. There, I helped my clients individually, with their parents and in groups to help them overcome issues such as problems with authority figures, various abuse issues, problems with anxiety and low self-esteem. Most of my clients were children, adolescents and their guardians. This often involved providing parents and foster parents with the support and guidance they needed to care for their children who were dealing problems such as autism or ADHD.
Like my grandfather, I have gained wisdom and much satisfaction in helping others. My work experience has led me from helping emotionally challenged youth in an outdoor setting to helping them along with their families in inpatient and outpatient situations in my office, in their homes, and virtually online through Better Help, Incorporated. This has often involved helping adults, children and adolescents with a variety of other issues including substance abuse, oppositional or conduct disorder, and relationship issues.
Respectfully yours,
F. Dunn Jones, MA, LPC, NBCC

I just recently started back up with Therapy after years of avoiding it thinking I can handle things on my own. It has been great to get with a therapist that will take the time to listen and acknowledge what I'm going through. He is great.

He is a real person with real experiences. He is a good listener, he has to be with the way I talk a million miles an hour. Mostly, I am a good judge of character, and I feel he cares about what he does and trying to help. You cannot be good at anything that your heart is not in and I think his heart is in this 100 percent.
