About Shauna
Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with ten years of experience. She works directly with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting stress, and life changes. She also helps those coping with trauma, abuse, ADHD, and challenges around intimacy and codependency.
Her sessions are warm and straightforward. Shauna says she listens without judgment and treats people with respect and compassion. She avoids stigmatizing labels and focuses on practical steps that feel manageable.
Shauna blends common-sense cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-focused work and solution-focused strategies. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking and behavior, process difficult events, and identify small, concrete changes that move them forward. She adapts the conversation and plan to each person’s situation.
People can expect an interactive process where goals are discussed early and revisited as work progresses. Shauna aims to empower clients to build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and address mood or attention concerns. Sessions are paced to fit what each person needs.
If someone is ready to make a change, Shauna offers steady support and practical tools to get started. Her background as a social worker informs a focus on real-life problems and workable strategies rather than labels or jargon.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. Online work with this approach focuses on building a respectful, compassionate conversation that centers the client’s preferences and goals. It helps with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and finding clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. In online sessions this means practicing ways to notice unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and track small changes between visits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills for daily life.
Shauna treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and together they will choose or combine methods that feel most helpful. Plans and techniques are adjusted as progress is made.
If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find online care helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes it easier to keep regular appointments, and lets them use tools and worksheets between meetings. Talk with the therapist during the intake process about how to structure sessions so they fit your day-to-day life.
