About Shasha

Shasha Jones is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and issues with mood and self-esteem. She works with people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy concerns, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, and life transitions.

She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns and offers help around communication and career questions. Shasha keeps sessions practical and goal-focused. She uses clear language and simple tools so parents and individuals can try small changes between meetings.

Background and approach

Her style blends talking through feelings with skills practice. She often uses metaphors and stories to make new ways of thinking feel easier to use in daily life. With 11 years of clinical experience, Shasha draws on a range of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered methods.

She frames challenges as shifts in perception that can be adjusted step by step rather than overwhelming, fixed problems. Her background includes a master’s degree in counseling and clinical health psychology and broad work across mental health settings. That history informs her ability to tailor sessions to different needs and levels of intensity.

She emphasizes practical steps parents can try at home while also addressing deeper emotional patterns. Shasha invites clients to set clear goals and to track small, steady progress. Families and parents looking for hands-on tools and empathetic listening will find a straightforward, collaborative approach that focuses on usable change.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It teaches simple practices to accept difficult feelings and still move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them, which works well for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps partners and individuals identify and shift interaction cycles that cause distance or conflict.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as questions evolve and real-life practice shows what helps most.

The therapist's profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when schedules demand, and reduce travel time for parents and caregivers. Some techniques translate well to nonface-to-face sessions, such as skills coaching, behavior plans, and emotion-focused conversations, and these can be practiced between meetings to support steady progress.

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.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
