Shauna Jones, LCSW

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with ten years of practice. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth therapy to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people take the next step when things feel stuck.

Shauna uses a mix of methods that match what each person needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address harm from past events, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, manageable goals.

Her work often covers relationships, parenting, career challenges, mood difficulties, ADHD, and coping after abuse or physical trauma. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy-related issues, addictions, and stress tied to caregiving or blended family changes. Sessions emphasize clear tools and small goals that fit daily life.

Shauna describes her style as honest, interactive, and respectful. She avoids stigmatizing labels and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation. The focus is on building skills, improving communication, and finding practical steps forward.

If someone is ready to make a change, Shauna aims to offer steady support and practical guidance. She encourages people to start with a simple match and then shape therapy around their goals and rhythm of life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. It emphasizes empathy and respect, and helps people feel heard while they consider change and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of past harm. It helps people process difficult memories and develop coping strategies for triggers and everyday stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time.

For online work, confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, save travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules shift. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for your routine and how to set up sessions that fit your everyday life.
