I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in private practice in Conway, AR. I grew up in Conway in the 70s and 80s, and graduated from Hendrix College in 1990 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. In 1998, I earned my master’s degree in psychology Forest Institute of Professional Psychology in Springfield, MO. I earned my Missouri license to be a professional counselor in 2002 while working at Boys’ and Girls’ Town of Missouri in St. James, MO. I opened a private practice, Empowerment Counseling, LLC, with a partner. For the next few years, I provide my services a psychotherapist to private clients as well as children, adults, families referred to me by the Missouri Division of Family and Youth Services. I moved back to Conway in 2017 to be near family and opened my private practice, Jones Counseling Services, LLC where I have work since then.
I have 20 plus years of experience providing my counseling services to people of all ages (five years of age and older) to help them deal with and/or overcome their mental issues in all kinds of settings--in person and online.
Sincerely,
F. Dunn Jones, MA, LPC, NBCC, ABDD

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great Therapist
Love the convenience and my therapist
Very calming and understanding. Really helped to give me a better outlook on navigating relationships with family and how to view things in a constructive way.
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's one of the few good ones I've seen. He really does listen, care and understand. I'd definitely recommend him.
Only had 3 phone calls with him and I must say he has helped me so much. He has good advice and takes his time to ask questions and to listen. I would definitely recommend him to everyone
He does an excellent job listening and understanding my problems. He always provided helpful insight that helps me understand myself better and paints a clear picture of what I need to focus on.
He is excellent.
He is understanding and empathetic.
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.
He has been supportive understanding and helpful. He has provided me with the tools and support to help myself
Me. Jones is very very respectful and seems to really care about my struggles. I felt so much better after my last visit.
He listens and seems interested in my care
Has been helpful. Even without being face to face, I feel he genuinely hears my concerns.

First time in therapy and am extremely happy with the helpfulness Francis has provided in just 2 sessions.

Dunn asks great questions and helps me think through what's going on while providing insight and support!
My counselor treats me with such respect and support. I feel like I have someone who has my best interest at heart. I can trust my counselor to always be there.
Mr. Dunn knows what he is doing. I recommend him 100%. Very understanding and committed to help you. Wont ask for anybody else.
So far Francis seems so helpful and understanding. No bad things to say. He is also flexible about scheduling which makes things easier'
Francis truly helped me work through my anxiety. He was very knowledgeable and gave me great advice.
Three sessions in and he has been extremely helpful so far. Looking forward to speaking more.
Dr. Jones' imput on my situatiins have been quite enlightening. He asks questions that I've never been asked before that require me to look at myself in a different light. I am grateful for his support and understanding!
