About Shauna

Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She uses a warm, direct, and interactive style to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, and relationship strains. Shauna speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps that fit each person’s life.

Shauna blends cognitive behavioral techniques with trauma-focused work and solution-focused problem solving. That combination lets her address difficult memories, change unhelpful thinking, and find small steps that make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with plans adjusted as progress is made. She has supported people coping with parenting challenges, career stress, ADHD, grief, and recovery from abuse or physical trauma. Her approach avoids stigmatizing labels and centers respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

When beginning work she prioritizes understanding what matters most to the individual and their immediate needs. Together she and the client set clear, doable goals and track what helps between sessions. Shauna encourages anyone who feels stuck to consider taking a first step toward change.

She aims to create an honest space where people can talk through real problems and build practical ways to move forward.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the conversation. This approach helps people clarify their own goals and find solutions that feel right for them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep, and daily stress.

Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes processing difficult memories and building safety in the present. It is used to reduce the hold of past wounds and support recovery from abuse or physical trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Shauna will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions whether someone needs skills practice, emotional processing, or problem solving.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through flexible formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions remove video when preferred; live chat and text-based messaging let people check in and practice skills between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and continue care from home or another convenient place.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
