About
Hi, I'm Michelle — and I'm so glad you're here. Taking that first step toward support takes courage, and I want you to know you've come to a safe, judgment-free space and I'd love to connect with you and learn more about what brings you here so that you don't have to figure this out alone.
I am Michelle Jones, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I hold Missouri licensure and have worked across outpatient mental health, inpatient psychiatry, substance abuse treatment, corrections, and hospice care. I work with individuals, couples, and groups navigating bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, ADHD, anxiety disorders, PTSD, substance abuse, and behavior modification. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and tailored to help each client heal, grow, and thrive.
I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and ACT to meet each client where they are. My style is collaborative and strength-based, helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and develop lasting tools for change in a structured, supportive space.
Wherever you are in your journey, you deserve support from someone who truly sees you. Healing isn't linear, but you don't have to walk the path alone. If you're ready to take that first step toward a healthier, more hopeful life, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Schedule an appointment today.

As a bilingual therapist with over five years of experience working with teens and young adults, I create a supportive, practical space where we can understand what’s holding you back and build the tools you need to move forward—on and off the field.
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with a master's degree in clinical counseling and over 5 years of experience in the mental health field, including the past four years providing direct therapy. I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults, supporting them through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges while providing a supportive space for growth and healing. My approach is client-centered, practical, and goal-oriented. I integrate principles from therapy, sports psychology, and coaching to help clients build resilience, improve emotional regulation, and develop meaningful, lasting change.
I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to effectively support a diverse client population and provide culturally responsive care. Originally from Venezuela, I moved to St. Louis at the age of 16. I have also traveled to over 20 countries, shaping my cultural awareness and ability to connect with clients from a wide range of backgrounds.
At 32, I bring both clinical training and real-world perspective to my work, helping clients move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

As one who has experienced many facets of life, the up's and the down's, I can truly say we have the ability to give ourselves the grace to grow and the right to fall.
I am Darcel Tyson and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been working with individuals for well over 10+ years. I have had the pleasure of working with 4 years olds exploring emotional regulation to 55+ individuals facing life transitions. We all face challenges at some point of life therefore, exploring options, setting goals allows one to become the best version of the self.
I am here to support, encourage, motivate and challenge one to a path of real change. I offer a safe, comfortable and nonjudgmental environment that supports the therapeutic process. This includes closing up past wounds and using scars as building blocks to recovery and restoration.
We will build rapport and work collaboratively to identify internal conflicts and barriers which hinder personal growth. You will have the opportunity to gain insight, explore self-awareness and apply the necessary skills to improve your quality of life.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
