About Lottie

Lottie Jones is a licensed social worker in South Carolina who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and addiction. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Lottie works from a strengths-based outlook that treats each person as the expert on their life.

Background and approach

Sessions are intended to feel calm and low-pressure. She uses humor and warmth to ease tension while addressing difficult topics. Her approach blends practical tools with gentle encouragement.

She draws on methods that teach skills for managing emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and staying focused on personal values. The goal is to build habits that help day-to-day functioning. Lottie has 14 years of experience in mental health and counseling and holds the LISW-CP credential, which is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Clinical Practice privileges.

That background informs her work with a wide range of concerns like postpartum depression, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication problems. Outside of work she is a wife and mother of two young children who enjoys reading, music, and travel. She aims to make sessions feel uplifting while tackling hard issues together.

Taking the first step is named and respected in her practice.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people focus on what matters most and take small actions that match their values. It often includes exercises to notice thoughts without getting stuck and to try new, value-driven behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns that lead to distress. It uses clear, practical exercises such as tracking thoughts and testing beliefs in daily life to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from home, phone sessions remove the need for travel, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or skill practice between sessions. This range of formats helps clients fit therapy into busy family schedules and keeps continuity when life gets unpredictable.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
