About Khyra

Khyra Jones is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people in New York navigate stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical strategies for managing panic, improving communication, and rebuilding self-love while supporting clients through caregiving strain, attachment concerns, and recovery from past trauma. Her work blends evidence-informed tools and a compassionate, collaborative stance.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside DBT skills and mindfulness techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, regulate intense emotions, and practice present-focused awareness. Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems also inform her approach when exploring ambivalence, internal conflicts, or relational dynamics.

Khyra aims to create a respectful space where people can clarify values, develop concrete coping skills, and experiment with new ways of relating to themselves and others. She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging sessions through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and brings both clinical training and real-world experience to each client partnership.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy



Khyra often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming or communication breaks down.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in session, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit for the client's needs and circumstances.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to practice skills in real-life contexts, maintain continuity when life gets busy, and access therapy from home or work while collaborating with a licensed professional.
