Shauna Jones

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina. She brings ten years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship challenges. Her manner is warm and direct, and she aims to make sessions straightforward and useful from the first visit.

Shauna uses practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses trauma-focused approaches when past harm affects day-to-day functioning, and solution-focused tools to set short-term goals and track progress. Shauna personalizes what she offers to match each person's needs rather than using one fixed plan.

In sessions she keeps the tone honest and respectful. Conversations are collaborative and aimed at real-life changes like better sleep, clearer communication, or managing intense emotions such as anger. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on strengths as well as difficulties.

Her background includes work with people facing depression, ADHD, grief, addiction concerns, and those coping after emotional or physical trauma. She also supports people navigating parenting stress, career transitions, and intimacy-related concerns. Shauna draws on a mix of approaches to fit each situation.

For people who want practical steps, Shauna offers structured tools and space to process painful experiences. She encourages gradual progress and helps build skills for long-term coping and self-understanding.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Shauna often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify troubling thought patterns and build new coping skills. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. She also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm continues to affect daily life, helping people process memories and reduce triggers in manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, past experiences, and what feels most useful, then adapt strategies as progress is made. Your preferences and day-to-day needs help shape the plan rather than a single fixed method.

Session formats for this therapist are not specified here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone choose audio-only when they prefer not to use a camera. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively at a distance, and Shauna will discuss practical arrangements and what will suit your routine when you get started.
