Paul Jones , LCSW

Paul Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with eight years of experience in the mental health field. He transitioned to clinical work after a 21-year career in the U.S. Army, retiring as an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. His combined background informs a practical, strengths-based approach when supporting people facing complex life challenges.

He works with families, young adults, military veterans, and single parents who are coping with parenting difficulties, deployment separation, anxiety, stress, trauma, and related hardships. His practice also addresses concerns such as addiction, depression, relationship and family problems, anger, self-esteem, and life transitions. Paul draws on a multi-ecological domain perspective to consider the individual within their wider social and family systems while centering the client as the expert in their own experience.

Paul’s therapeutic style is person-centered and strength-focused, and he can integrate a Christian lens when clients prefer that perspective. He aims to help clients identify the origins of their concerns and to develop practical strategies for managing stress, improving communication, and resolving conflict. The overarching goal is to build individual efficacy and sustainable skills that support improved self-esteem and healthier interpersonal functioning. Paul holds licensure as an LCSW in North Carolina (NC LCSW C011878).

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Paul Jones integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns of connection and trust formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current relationships; it can be helpful for attachment issues, relationship challenges, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to develop practical coping strategies.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Paul works with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions so that therapy aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with Paul is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and geographic constraints. These options allow clients to engage in regular, consistent care from home or another convenient setting while maintaining a therapeutic rhythm that supports progress and practical skill-building.
