Shauna Jones , LCSW

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience in North Carolina. She offers a direct and compassionate approach that centers on each person’s needs. Her style is warm, honest, and interactive, and she focuses on practical steps people can use right away.

Shauna helps people facing anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and stress. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, parenting struggles, grief, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She works with people dealing with addiction, ADHD, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and career stress.

Her practice includes attention to attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care questions, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and codependency. She also addresses more specific concerns such as domestic violence recovery, separation and divorce, and complexity around BDSM and alternative sex culture. Her approach is tailored to the person in front of her rather than to a single method.

In sessions Shauna combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused work. She uses solution-focused interventions to set small, achievable goals and Internal Family Systems ideas to look at inner parts that affect behavior. Together, these methods guide a treatment plan shaped around the client’s values and practical needs.

Beginning therapy is often hard. Shauna encourages people to take small steps and offers steady support while they try new strategies. She aims to help clients build skills that ease daily life and move toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Shauna blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and trauma-focused work to address practical problems and painful memories. Client-Centered Therapy means she starts by listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person, which helps build trust and focus. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past harmful events affect present life and uses techniques to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shauna will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust the plan as you progress. That way the work evolves from session to session based on what is actually helping.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions let you use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support shorter updates, quick problem-solving, and ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care.
