Jane Sperry Jones, LCMHC

Jane Sperry Jones is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She brings 12 years of professional counseling experience and speaks plainly about the ups and downs people face. Jane aims to help people build practical skills and a clearer sense of self so they can make changes that matter.

Jane draws on a mix of approaches to address deep behavioral patterns and trauma. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns that show up in relationships. Narrative techniques such as therapeutic writing help people reorganize painful memories and make different choices. Mindfulness and somatic methods are used to reconnect people with their bodies and calm reactive responses.

Her work often focuses on addictions and co-occurring mental health challenges alongside stress, panic, mood disorders, and trauma-related symptoms. She also supports people dealing with identity and discrimination issues, attachment struggles, and problems around intimacy or infidelity. Jane tends to combine practical skill-building with longer-term exploration of underlying roots of pain.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear goals. Jane works with each person to identify what matters most and to build step-by-step strategies for change. She also incorporates motivational interviewing to support readiness and sustain motivation for recovery.

Jane practices in North Carolina and conducts therapy in English. She asks new clients to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How Jane's approaches translate to online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention practices and breath-based exercises to reduce stress and interrupt anxious or reactive cycles. It can help with panic, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm by teaching short skills that can be used between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses questions and reflection to strengthen commitment and reduce mixed feelings about substance use or other habits.

Narrative Therapy uses writing and storytelling to reframe difficult experiences. Therapeutic journaling can help people separate themselves from painful memories and try out different ways of understanding their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs shift.

Because the therapist's session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule sessions around busy days, fit in shorter check-ins, or use writing and breath practices between visits. Many people find remote sessions help them practice skills in their everyday routines without major disruption.
