Shauna Jones, LCSW

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She brings ten years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, and ADHD. Her approach aims to be straightforward and respectful, and she focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.

Shauna combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused strategies. She also uses trauma-focused work when past harm is getting in the way of daily life. Sessions are shaped around each persons needs instead of forcing a single method.

People come to her for relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, grief and loss, career strain, and recovery after abuse or other trauma. She also supports those dealing with addictions, compassion fatigue, and struggles tied to identity and LGBT concerns. She helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, and commitment difficulties.

Her style is described as warm and interactive, with an emphasis on honest conversation and practical goals. Shauna avoids stigmatizing labels and works to create a respectful space for difficult topics. She tailors treatment plans so the work fits the person, not the other way around.

If someone is ready to take steps toward change, she offers supportive guidance and clear methods to try. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling, and can begin by using the site's Start Therapy process.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the conversation follow your needs; it helps with feeling heard, building self-understanding, and deciding on next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy attends to how past harm shows up now and uses gradual, supportive steps to reduce its day-to-day impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and will suggest a plan that blends methods when helpful. That collaborative process lets the plan change as progress is made.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or evenings. They also allow for shorter check-ins when a quick strategy session or follow-up is most useful. Ask about session length and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match day-to-day needs.
