Charlene Jones , LCSW

Charlene Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of clinical experience offering therapy in both online and office settings. She provides counseling to adults, children, adolescents, and families across office, school, and community-based environments, drawing on a breadth of work with diverse populations including military members, people experiencing homelessness, survivors of sexual abuse, individuals with substance use concerns, and those with personality disorders.

Her therapeutic approach blends empathy with evidence-based techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and solution-focused methods. She works collaboratively with clients to navigate difficult life challenges, helping them build coping skills, process trauma, and address issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, grief, and parenting concerns.

Charlene emphasizes practical skill building around communication and boundary setting to support improved day-to-day functioning and quality of life. Her goal is to motivate and empower clients while assisting them in identifying realistic goals and strategies for change. She typically checks messages on this platform several times per day from Thursday through Sunday and responds as promptly as possible, while asking for patience when professional or personal responsibilities occasionally delay replies.

Approaches for Online Care and Therapeutic Support

Charlene Jones draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and set the priorities for change. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while clarifying values and personal goals.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, useful for symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is incorporated when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are central concerns. DBT provides concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Charlene works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, goal-focused work that supports real-life change.
