Sharon's Bio
Sharon Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate (LCASA) in the state of North Carolina. She earned her Master of Social Work degree, along with a certificate in Substance Abuse Counseling, from Fayetteville State University. She also holds a Bachelor of Social Work degree from Barton College in Wilson, North Carolina.
Sharon has experience working with individuals and families across the lifespan in community mental health and residential treatment settings. She helps clients navigate a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, life transitions, self-esteem, anger management, and stress related to everyday responsibilities and life demands.
Sharon believes that healing looks different for everyone and that you don't have to be perfect or have everything figured out to begin your journey. She strives to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where clients feel heard, understood, and comfortable being themselves. Her approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and person-centered. She believes in meeting clients where they are, helping them recognize their strengths, and supporting them as they work toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Sharon incorporates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, to help clients develop practical coping strategies, build confidence, and navigate life's challenges. She also recognizes that personal values and spirituality can play an important role in healing and welcomes faith-based perspectives when they align with a client's beliefs and goals.
Outside of her work as a therapist, Sharon enjoys spending quality time with family and friends, serving in various ministries at her church, and spending time with her two dogs, Sipher and Jenesis. She believes in embracing life's journey with compassion, allowing room for growth, and recognizing that progress doesn't require perfection.
