About Shauna
Shauna Jones is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a direct and compassionate presence in sessions and aims to help people navigate tough moments. Her manner is warm and straightforward, with a focus on respectful, nonjudgmental care.
Shauna uses a mix of practical approaches to match each person's needs. She often draws on client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts or behaviors.
Trauma-focused techniques are part of her work when someone has experienced abuse or other traumatic events. Solution-focused methods help people identify clear, manageable steps to move forward from stress, relationship strain, or life transitions. These approaches are adapted for concerns such as anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Shauna has also addressed more specific challenges like abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care questions, blended family concerns, codependency, commitment and control issues, and aspects of BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture. She supports people coping with domestic violence, divorce or separation, and major life disruptions.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together with the client, she builds a plan that fits their goals and daily life. If someone is ready to take a first step, Shauna offers steady guidance and practical tools to help them move forward.

How therapy approaches shape online care
Shauna commonly integrates client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what is most important to the person and works from their goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and trying out small changes to reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on gentle, practical steps to address past harm and reduce its impact on daily life.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Shauna collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adapts plans as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try strategies that fit their situation rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, with options that may reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Please confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. The focus remains on practical tools and conversation that help clients manage stress, relationship concerns, trauma-related symptoms, and everyday challenges.
