About Jane
Jane Sperry Jones is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, depression, and trauma. Sessions are straightforward and practical, focused on what a person wants to change.
Her approach draws on several ways of working rather than a single method. She uses psychodynamic ideas to look at old patterns that keep repeating. Narrative therapy and therapeutic writing are tools she brings in to help people reframe their stories and make sense of painful memories.
She also works with body-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice how emotions show up in the body. Motivational interviewing is part of how she supports people moving through addiction or other behavior change. In practice she mixes these approaches to match what a person needs.
Jane emphasizes skills and mindset shifts people can use between sessions. Conversations include problem-solving, practicing new responses, and building small habits that reduce reactivity. She aims for concrete changes rather than abstract talk.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma, substance use, and co-occurring mental health challenges. People who have struggled with shame, impulsivity, or long-term patterns of conflict may find this style useful. The focus is on helping people find steadier ways of relating to themselves and others.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The first meeting is used to set goals and decide which combination of methods will be tried next.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations without immediate reaction. Online sessions can use brief guided exercises to build that noticing skill and reduce snap reactions to stress.Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves. In sessions this can include therapeutic writing or talking through past events to rewrite how those events are understood, which can lessen shame and anger tied to old stories.
Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring a person's own reasons for shifting behavior. It is useful when someone wants to cut back on substances, change impulsive habits, or manage anger-related actions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made. That means trying an approach, reviewing how it worked, and shifting course when needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also accommodate people who prefer guided writing, breathwork, or talking without being on video, depending on the format offered.
