About Carla
Carla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and family struggles, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and other life transitions.
Background and approach
With 26 years of experience and a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, she has run her own practice since 2008 and has supported individuals, couples, children, and families through a range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger, sleeping difficulties, career issues, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Carla draws on cognitive-behavioral methods and solution-focused techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and set realistic goals. Her work emphasizes practical strategies to manage symptoms and emotions while tailoring each session to the particular needs and goals of the person or family she is working with.
She welcomes clients who are taking the step to seek support and aims to collaborate with them to reach meaningful progress. Practicing in Virginia and offering services in English, she accepts international clients and provides several remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.
Her approach is grounded in experience and a commitment to meeting clients where they are in order to help them move forward.
Clinical Approaches and Online Care
Carla uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts, develop coping strategies, and practice behavioral changes that reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying strengths, setting clear goals, and building step-by-step plans to create measurable improvements in relationships, parenting, career issues, and life transitions.Deciding on the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Carla discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods to fit their needs, combining elements from different approaches when that will best support the client's progress. The plan evolves as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and time zones. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working toward concrete goals.
