Charlene Jones, LCSW

Charlene Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of experience. She greets people with warmth and directness, offering practical help for overwhelming moments. Charlene aims to motivate and empower people who are facing hard life challenges.

She brings a straightforward, empathetic approach in sessions. Charlene uses client-centered work to listen first, then combines it with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. She draws on EMDR and mindfulness tools for trauma, stress, and intense emotions.

Charlene helps people tackle common concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strain. She also works with issues related to addiction, parenting stress, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment struggles, blended family adjustments, and communication problems.

In a typical session she listens, helps people sort priorities, and practices skills that can be used between meetings. She emphasizes clear communication, boundary-setting, and coping strategies that fit daily life. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete steps they can try on their own.

Charlene practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. Her background includes work in schools, community settings, and clinical environments, where she supported people facing homelessness, substance-related problems, and trauma.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Charlene uses client-centered therapy to build the relationship first. That means she focuses on listening, understanding the person’s experience, and shaping sessions around the concerns the person brings. This helps form a foundation before introducing tools.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior. CBT teaches practical ways to test thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy is another approach she uses to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, support shorter check-ins, and allow people to practice skills in real-life settings between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote work so people can learn coping tools, practice communication, and process difficult experiences while staying engaged with everyday routines.
