About Shauna

Shauna Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 10 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, mood problems, trauma and abuse, and other life changes. Shauna also supports people dealing with addictions, grief, intimacy issues, and concerns often linked to codependency.

Her day-to-day work is straightforward and interactive. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more in control. She uses clear conversation, targeted exercises, and goal-focused plans rather than vague advice.

Shauna draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses trauma-focused methods for people who carry the effects of past harm. Solution-focused ideas guide shorter-term goals and concrete next steps.

She values treating clients with respect and sensitivity, avoiding stigmatizing labels. In sessions she mixes listening with active problem solving, and she adjusts what she does based on how someone responds. That means plans can change from week to week as progress is made or challenges arise.

People looking for help with relationship patterns - such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around another person’s mood or substance use - will find direct conversation about boundaries, communication, and coping strategies. Shauna asks about current stressors and past experiences so she can match practical tools to what matters most now.

To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. From there she and the client set goals and decide which methods to use together.

How sessions work

How her approaches and online sessions connect

Shauna commonly blends cognitive-behavioral work with trauma-focused care and solution-focused planning. Cognitive-behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and offers clear tools to change them, which helps with anxiety, depression, and problematic habits. Trauma-focused methods address the impact of past harm through paced processing and skills to manage strong feelings. Solution-focused work narrows the view to small, concrete steps that move someone toward specific goals. Choosing an approach is a team effort. Shauna discusses goals, current challenges, and preferences with each person and then recommends methods that fit. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the work stays relevant to everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how sessions will be held. The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments into busy schedules, shorter check-ins when needed, and options that reduce travel time. Online work makes it easier to keep momentum between sessions by using worksheets, brief exercises, and consistent scheduling. The therapist and client decide together how to structure online visits to match needs and goals.
