Shauna Jones, LCSW

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She is based in North Carolina and uses a practical, conversational style to help people sort through problems and make small changes that add up over time.

Her work often focuses on mood concerns, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and recovery from trauma or abuse. She also supports people facing parenting strain, career challenges, grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Shauna pays attention to how thinking patterns and daily habits affect feelings and behavior.

Shauna blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with trauma-focused and solution-focused techniques. She centers sessions on the person in front of her and tailors simple strategies to what they need right now. Conversations are direct but warm, and she avoids stigmatizing labels while staying practical.

Sessions tend to include problem-solving, skill building, and gentle reflection on past experiences that still affect daily life. She may use short exercises between meetings to reinforce new ways of coping and thinking. The goal is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

People who meet with Shauna usually appreciate straightforward guidance and collaborative planning. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and clear communication while helping clients set realistic steps toward change.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Shauna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches in her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors to change how people feel and act. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and stress management. Trauma-focused therapy looks at how past hurt affects current reactions and uses gentle, structured steps to reduce the hold of those memories and responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shauna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pace and techniques based on how someone responds and what feels most useful in session.

Online therapy lets people connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer a flexible way to check in between sessions or for clients who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when travel or life changes get in the way.
