About Jane
Jane Sperry Jones is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and trauma and abuse. Jane also supports issues tied to self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and identity challenges within LGBT experiences.
Her style is direct and practical. She focuses on changing long-standing patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions look at how past experiences shape current behavior and aim to build skills for different responses. She helps people recognize triggers, practice new ways of relating, and strengthen emotional regulation.
Jane draws on several approaches to guide this work. She uses Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and bodily reactions. Narrative Therapy and therapeutic writing are used to untangle stories people tell about themselves. Psychodynamic ideas are used to trace recurring patterns back to earlier relationships and experiences.
She also incorporates somatic methods to bring attention to body sensations tied to emotions. Motivational Interviewing is used when change feels uncertain or when substance use and process addictions are part of the picture. The therapist aims to match the method to what the person needs and prefers.
Her background includes long experience with trauma, substance use, co-occurring mental health challenges, and relationship problems. People who want to address anger or maintain gains after a relapse often work on impulse control, communication skills, and rebuilding self-worth.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and body signals without getting swept away. Online sessions can guide simple exercises that teach breath awareness and grounding to reduce reactivity and calm the body.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories a person tells about themselves. Through guided writing and verbal reflection, clients can rewrite unhelpful narratives and separate their identity from difficult behaviors and past events.
Somatic approaches bring attention to bodily sensations linked to emotions. In a session, a therapist can cue gentle body awareness tasks, tracking tension and movement to help release stuck reactions or heighten bodily signals that predict anger.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk about goals, test interventions, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together whether more mindfulness, narrative work, somatic practice, or motivational strategies fit the moment.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking. If you plan to use online sessions, they can make it easier to fit work into a day, avoid travel, and keep regular check-ins when life feels busy. Some methods work well in a single session for a focused skill, while others take repeated meetings to shift deeper patterns.
