Jane Sperry Jones, LCMHC

Jane Sperry Jones brings twelve years of professional experience as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She combines professional training with lived experience to offer steady empathy and practical insight to people facing trauma, substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Her practice commonly supports individuals dealing with stress and anxiety, grief and depression, anger and relationship or intimacy issues, as well as addiction, bipolar disorder, self-esteem struggles, and challenges related to identity or discrimination.

Jane often works with people who have a history of trauma and substance use, helping them address patterns that have developed over time. Her clinical toolkit leans on psychodynamic approaches aimed at shifting deeply rooted behavioral patterns, trauma-focused methods for resolving overwhelming memories and sensations, and narrative techniques that use therapeutic writing and storytelling to reframe personal meaning. She has training in narrative and journaling methods through the Center for Journal Therapy with Kathleen Adams, and integrates practices that parallel trauma resolution techniques used in other evidence-informed models.

In collaboration with each person she sees, Jane focuses on developing concrete skills and a mindset that support lasting change. She guides clients to find and strengthen their voice, increase self-awareness, and apply insights to improve relationships and daily functioning. The work is presented as a process of gradual growth - one that builds resilience, clarity, and greater confidence over time.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Healing and Growth

Jane integrates psychodynamic therapy to explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns shape current behavior and relationships; this approach helps people understand and change recurring emotional and interpersonal patterns. Narrative therapy is used to help clients rewrite the stories they tell about themselves through techniques like therapeutic writing and guided reflection, which can be useful for grief, identity concerns, and recovery from trauma. Somatic therapy attends to how stress and trauma live in the body, using bodily awareness and gentle interventions to reduce physiological reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jane works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most effective, adjusting methods over time so the work matches evolving needs and supports sustainable change.

Online therapy with Jane is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work and to maintain continuity of care while managing daily responsibilities.
