Shawnda Jones

Shawnda Jones is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, mood challenges, and life transitions. She emphasizes a non-judgmental, respectful approach and works with each person to set clear therapy goals. People who come to her are often looking to process past hurts, manage strong emotions, or find direction after change.

Her work blends practical tools and listening. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside cognitive behavioral strategies to help people name patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions also draw on client-centered principles to make space for each person’s values and pace.

Shawnda trained with a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology and holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She also has additional training in grief and trauma therapy and has practiced for 20 years in Indiana.

In sessions she helps people break problems into manageable steps. That can mean learning ways to reduce anxiety, working through grief, improving mood, or addressing past traumatic experiences. She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, family origin issues, guilt and shame, isolation, and compassion fatigue.

Therapy begins with a conversation about what someone wants to change. From there she collaborates on concrete goals and practical strategies. People who prefer a thoughtful, steady approach that mixes talk, skills practice, and gentle challenge often find this style helpful.

Approaches that guide online work

Shawnda uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful events and reduce the ways traumatic memories affect daily life. That approach focuses on understanding the impact of trauma and building skills to manage distress.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy is part of her work too, which means she follows each person’s goals and pace in session.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shawnda will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust the plan as work progresses. Therapy can be a mix of listening, skills practice, and gentle challenge based on what the client wants.

Please confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific online formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can work with clients across distances to focus on symptom management, trauma processing, and improving daily routines without promising a particular format.
