About Shauna
Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She uses a direct and compassionate style to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, and the impact of trauma and abuse. Her work often focuses on relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career strain, and attention-related difficulties such as ADHD.
She also supports people facing grief, addiction, and the practical fallout of separation or divorce.
How Shauna works
Shauna pays attention to how past losses, abandonment, or attachment wounds shape current feelings and choices. Shauna blends several approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Trauma-focused methods help process past hurt in a paced way. Solution-focused and client-centered methods guide practical steps and keep sessions grounded in the client's priorities. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.
Shauna aims to create a warm, honest space where people can name what feels hard and try new ways of coping. She avoids stigmatizing labels and works to build realistic plans that fit daily life. Over a decade of practice has included working with people affected by domestic violence, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and a range of sexual cultures including kink.
Her experience also covers attachment concerns, adoption and foster care topics, and chronic feelings of emptiness. People who choose Shauna often want practical tools along with compassionate support. She helps clients set clear goals, track small gains, and adjust plans as life changes.

Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It helps people feel heard and guides the work by their priorities rather than preset goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through short exercises and real-life practice between sessions. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing mood shifts.Shauna will work collaboratively to find the best fit among these methods. She checks in about goals and preferences, and adjusts techniques as progress is made. Finding the right approach is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time choice, and the therapist and client plan next steps together.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching moments, or ongoing encouragement between meetings. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different ways of communicating as needs change.
