About Shauna

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 10 years of practice. She offers a warm, direct style that focuses on honest conversation and practical steps. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, mood swings, and relationship problems, including parenting challenges and career strain.

She uses a mix of approaches to meet each person where they are. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Trauma-Focused work addresses the impact of physical or emotional abuse and other traumatic events. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes that move people toward clearer goals.

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the individual. Shauna listens for what matters most, then shapes conversations and goals around that. She avoids labels and treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while offering direct feedback when it helps.

Her background includes a decade of clinical practice working with clients across a wide range of concerns, including ADHD, grief, addiction, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment and adoption-related concerns, blended family stress, and codependency.

If someone is ready to take steps toward change, Shauna focuses on practical next steps and steady support. Her approach aims to help people build coping skills, reduce distress, and make clearer choices in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Shauna uses approaches that fit practical, goal-focused online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and quick wins to move toward specific goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past physical or emotional abuse affects daily life and emphasizes strategies to manage triggers and strengthen coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which approaches to use and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow follow-up conversations between longer in-person visits when those are used. It also supports shorter check-ins when life is hectic and longer sessions when deeper work is needed. Many people find this flexibility helps therapy integrate with everyday responsibilities.
