About Charlene
Charlene Jones is an LCSW practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She brings a background in working across office, school, and community settings to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, addictions, parenting challenges, and a range of other life difficulties.
Her approach blends empathy with structured, evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and client-centered techniques to help clients identify patterns and build practical skills.
Charlene emphasizes collaboration and practical tools, guiding clients toward clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and improved coping strategies for grief, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and co-occurring concerns like bipolar disorder or ADHD. She is experienced addressing additional focus areas including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, and substance-related problems.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and she communicates with clients multiple times per day on select days while balancing other professional responsibilities. Prospective clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process built around their needs, with flexibility in scheduling and a focus on measurable skills for managing life changes and emotional challenges.
How targeted approaches translate to online care
Charlene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing behaviors and emotions; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship difficulties are present. In addition, EMDR is offered as a technique to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact through structured, therapist-guided protocols.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works together with clients to understand their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then tailors sessions to match those needs and adjusts methods as progress is made. This means treatment plans may emphasize skills training, trauma processing, or supportive, client-centered exploration depending on what the client and therapist agree will be most helpful.
Online therapy with this practice is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Clients can meet by video or phone, or use live chat and text-based messaging for check-ins and ongoing work, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and maintain continuity of care. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to virtual formats so that practical skill-building continues between sessions.
