About Shauna
Shauna Jones is a licensed social worker in North Carolina who uses a practical, people-focused approach to therapy. She draws on a mix of cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, and solution-focused methods to help clients manage anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and life transitions. Shauna keeps sessions warm and straightforward and treats people with respect and compassion.
Shauna has ten years of experience in clinical settings. She has supported people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, career uncertainty, and attention-related concerns.
Background and approach
She has also worked with those coping with physical trauma or emotional abuse. In sessions she talks through concrete steps to reduce distress. That might include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, building coping routines, or identifying small, workable goals.
She adapts the plan to fit each person’s situation and values. People often come for help with sleep problems, eating issues, grief, addiction, or struggles with intimacy and self-esteem. Shauna also addresses concerns tied to adoption, attachment, blended family dynamics, caregiving stress, and commitment or control problems.
Her style is honest and interactive. She emphasizes collaboration and practical progress rather than labels. If someone is ready to try talking things through and making gradual changes, Shauna offers steady support and focused guidance.
How Shauna's Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, creating a respectful space to talk through problems and identify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and support better sleep and daily routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing traumatic events and building coping skills to reduce the impact of distressing memories and triggers.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shauna works collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing based on progress and feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face dialogue for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quieter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping strategies, and ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility and continuity while using familiar therapeutic approaches.
