About Shauna

Shauna Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical skills and clear conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career concerns, and mood differences. Her work includes support for those recovering from trauma and people coping with relationship or parenting challenges.

Her style is warm, direct, and collaborative. Sessions are interactive and focused on what is most useful for each person. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with respect and compassion as she helps them set realistic goals.

Shauna combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape treatment. That blend lets her address unhelpful thoughts, process difficult experiences, and find small, practical steps forward. She adapts conversations and plans to fit the situation and what the person hopes to change.

Over a decade of practice has given her experience with a wide range of concerns.

She also works with people navigating abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and relationship communication problems.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It focuses on building trust, exploring feelings, and making changes at the individual's pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches skills to change unhelpful habits; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides ways to process and reduce the impact of past traumatic experiences and to develop coping strategies for current life challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan over time. This helps ensure that therapy fits the person’s needs and preferences rather than forcing a single method on everyone.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it helpful to continue the skills practiced in sessions throughout daily life, and therapists can tailor exercises and homework to fit a person's routine.
