About Carla

Carla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia with 26 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep problems, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and many years running a independent practice since 2008. Carla uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help clients gain clearer thinking patterns and actionable strategies for daily life.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s circumstances, emphasizing skills to regulate emotions, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and set achievable goals. She aims to create a collaborative environment where clients build tools to manage symptoms and navigate major life changes.

Clients can expect an approach that blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with solution-focused planning, with attention to individual strengths and immediate priorities. Carla welcomes those ready to take steps toward improved coping, greater clarity, and measurable progress toward personal goals.

Approach and Access: Practical Therapy Online

Carla uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients recognize and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for problems like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties because it emphasizes concrete skills and behavioral experiments. She also uses solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps that move clients toward their goals and can be especially helpful for people facing career changes, relationship challenges, or day-to-day coping needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time so interventions stay aligned with progress and priorities rather than following a one-size-fits-all path.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from varied locations, support consistent attendance, and allow clients to use the way of communicating that best suits their life and therapeutic goals.
