Charlene Jones, LCSW

Charlene Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 11 years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, substance concerns, and major life changes. Her approach aims to make therapy usable day to day for busy parents and adults.

Charlene draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and mindfulness practices. She helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior, then try small changes to test what works. Sessions are conversational and focused on skills you can use between appointments.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR when the situation calls for them. That means teaching coping skills for intense emotions and using trauma-focused methods when memories are getting in the way of daily life. Charlene blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Charlene pays attention to family dynamics, parenting strain, attachment and abandonment concerns, and problems with communication and boundaries. She also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and mood regulation challenges. Her work includes addressing overlap among issues when more than one concern is present.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She practices in North Carolina as an LCSW and uses a subscription-based session model that can be canceled at any time.

Practical approaches for online therapy and coping skills

Charlene uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. That approach focuses on practical experiments and step-by-step skill building.

She also works in a client-centered way that emphasizes listening and following each person’s priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and frames therapy around goals they choose. When intense emotional regulation is needed, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills useful in daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic mix is part of the work. Charlene will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their history, goals, and comfort level rather than imposing one fixed plan.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are helpful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can allow shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules and choose the format that feels most practical for them.
