About Charlene

Charlene Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 11 years of documented experience.

Background and approach

She combines empathic listening with evidence-informed techniques to help people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance-related concerns, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, attention-related difficulties such as ADHD, and other life transitions. Her background includes work across office, school, and community settings that shaped a flexible approach to varied clinical needs.

Her style centers on collaboration and practical skill-building, blending client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness practices to support emotion regulation, communication, and coping. Charlene guides clients toward clearer boundaries, improved self-esteem, and more effective problem solving while addressing attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and co-occurring issues.

She frames goals around each person’s strengths and priorities and uses a mix of short-term interventions and longer-term processing when needed. Clients can expect a respectful, motivating tone that emphasizes empowerment and actionable steps.

Charlene aims to help people translate insights into daily routines that reduce distress and increase functioning, adapting methods to fit individual needs and preferences.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Charlene draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for mood, anxiety, and behavior change. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for managing stress, depression, and attention-related challenges. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) techniques to teach distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be valuable for people coping with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or patterns of impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to select and adapt methods according to goals, preferences, and the challenges presented, combining brief interventions and longer-term skills practice when appropriate.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and practice skills in real time with guidance from a licensed professional.
