About Shauna

Shauna Jones is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina who blends practical, evidence-informed methods with a warm, interactive therapeutic presence.

Background and approach

With ten years of practice as an individual and family therapist, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside trauma-focused and solution-focused work to address a wide range of concerns. Her background includes supporting people coping with depression, anxiety, mood disturbances, ADHD, and the emotional aftermath of physical trauma or abuse.

She describes her style as honest, compassionate, and collaborative, and avoids stigmatizing labels while tailoring conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Shauna has helped clients navigate relationship and marriage conflict, parenting challenges, career stress, and grief, and she attends to both practical coping skills and deeper trauma processing.

She frames therapy as a partnership, aiming to empower people to move toward more fulfilling and manageable lives. For those ready to begin change, she offers steady support and guidance rooted in clinical experience and client-centered care.

Prospective clients can expect straightforward communication and individualized treatment strategies that reflect their goals and circumstances.

Evidence-informed approaches for online healing and growth

Shauna commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and sleep problems. This approach tends to emphasize practical skills and measurable steps that can be practiced between sessions.

She also integrates client-centered therapy, which prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and places the client’s experience and goals at the center of care. This style supports people who need empathy, validation, and collaborative problem solving as they work through life changes or interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Shauna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time so strategies remain useful and relevant as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit consistent sessions into busy lives and to maintain momentum between appointments, while allowing licensed professionals to offer ongoing guidance and practical skills work from a distance.
