Jane Sperry Jones , LCMHC

Jane Sperry Jones draws on a lifetime of varied experience to understand how people get caught in patterns, confront hardship, and ultimately change. Her personal perspective gives her a deep well of empathy that informs clinical work. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina and has 12 years of professional experience working with people facing complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

She commonly supports individuals with histories of trauma, substance use, co-occurring mental health concerns, and related difficulties such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, anger, and relationship or intimacy issues. Her practice emphasizes approaches that address long-standing behavioral patterns and emotional wounds. She uses psychodynamic methods, including Re-Decision Therapy - a blend of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis - to explore how early decisions and relational patterns shape present life. She also incorporates Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET), described by her as similar in approach to EMDR, and Narrative Therapy techniques such as therapeutic writing and journaling.

Jane tailors methods to each person's needs and works collaboratively to build the skills and mindset needed for change. Her goal is to help people find and own their voice, increase self-awareness, and apply insights in ways that improve relationships and support long-term growth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Growth

Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness through simple attention practices and grounding techniques. It can help people reduce reactivity to stress and build greater emotional balance when facing anxiety, mood shifts, or everyday overwhelm.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps people explore their readiness for change. It is practical for issues such as substance use, impulsive behaviors, and ambivalence about recovery or lifestyle shifts.

Narrative Therapy uses storytelling and reflective writing to separate a person from their problems and reshape life narratives. This approach can be useful for processing trauma, grief, identity questions, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Jane works collaboratively with clients to identify which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings, and fit therapy into the routines of daily life.
