    About Jane

    Jane Sperry Jones helps people facing stress, anxiety, substance use struggles, grief, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She welcomes conversations about trauma and abuse, identity-related pressures, anger, low self-esteem, mood shifts, and process addictions. Jane is identified as a licensed clinical mental health counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience.

    Her style blends direct listening with a focus on motivation and personal meaning. She uses Motivational Interviewing to support change and Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Jane also draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas to help clients notice how emotions show up in the body.

    She describes therapy as a practical process. Sessions focus on building skills, practicing new ways of relating, and finding clearer personal values. Writing, reflection, and body-awareness exercises are often part of the work when they fit a client's needs.

    Jane emphasizes collaboration. She helps clients identify small steps that match their goals and pace. Progress is treated as a series of experiments rather than a single test of success.

    Her background includes long experience with trauma and substance-related issues alongside general mental health care. Jane aims to help people find their voice, strengthen relationships, and make changes that feel genuinely sustainable over time.

  2. Using Motivational and Narrative Approaches Online

    Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve doubts about change by focusing on their own reasons and strengths; it is often useful for addictions, impulse patterns, and making health or behavior changes. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those narratives so they support goals and values. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and can reduce reactivity to stress and emotional flashpoints.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust them based on what produces real, manageable steps forward.

    The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and keeping momentum between in-person commitments. Many people find it easier to maintain regular appointments when travel time is reduced and scheduling is more flexible.
