Jane Sperry Jones , LCMHC

Jane Sperry Jones brings a direct, compassionate perspective to therapy informed by long experience working with trauma, addiction, and complex emotional concerns. She has 12 years of professional practice as a licensed LCMHC in North Carolina - a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and she focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use, relationship and intimacy issues, and the aftermath of abuse. Her approach reflects an interest in how people get caught in recurring patterns and how those patterns can be shifted through tailored therapeutic work.

She commonly supports clients facing co-occurring conditions such as grief, depression, bipolar disorder, panic, and process addictions, and she addresses challenges related to attachment, communication, dissociation, family of origin dynamics, and isolation. Jane draws from psychodynamic ideas to explore deep-rooted behavioral patterns, from narrative techniques that use therapeutic writing to clarify meaning, and from body-centered methods when physical responses hold emotional material. She also uses motivational strategies to foster readiness for change when substance use or impulsivity are present.

In sessions she works collaboratively to identify the methods that best fit each person’s goals and life circumstances, teaching practical skills and fostering the mindset needed for sustained change. Her aim is to help clients find and claim their own voice, strengthen self-worth, and apply new insights to improve relationships and daily functioning. Therapy with Jane is presented as a process of gradual discovery, skill development, and growth toward the changes a person wants to make.
