Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyTrauma and abuseGriefDepressionCoping with life changes
13 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina, bringing 14 years of dedication to helping clients navigate life's most difficult challenges. Think of me as your partner in healing and change. My expertise spans a wide range of issues, including trauma recovery, communication problems, family dynamics, parenting, career, the meaning of life, and life satisfaction. I am passionate about empowering individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, family/parenting conflicts, the impacts of past and present trauma and abuse, as well as many other issues of life. My Therapeutic Approach is Skill-Building and Deep Exploration, if needed. My approach, like many therapists, is eclectic. I use many modalities and you help choose the main one that is best for you. My foundational approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective method that equips you with strategies and coping skills for immediate relief and long-term change for life. I enrich this by drawing from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, Existential Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and somatic therapies, such as Polyvagal Theory ensuring you develop a robust and personalized toolkit. For clients ready to explore deeper, we venture into those vulnerable places that facilitate profound healing and lasting transformation. I am highly specialized in trauma work where you do not have to narrate your entire story, utilizing proven, research-based modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, and The Flash Technique to gently and effectively process trauma memories and false beliefs thereby reducing the triggers that you experience. A great deal of therapy with me is a Collaborative Path to Self-Awareness. A significant portion of healing involves becoming aware of the patterns where your thoughts, feelings, and actions intersect and cause distress. To foster this awareness and shift unhelpful mindsets, I integrate evidence-based interventions such as mindfulness, guided meditation, and brief exposure when appropriate. I give my recommendations but you make the decision what you want to learn and apply. My therapy is client-led and highly collaborative. We will choose interventions—which can include spirituality or solution-focused therapy, if you wish—that best align with your personality and goals. I provide an empathetic, nonjudgmental, and compassionate presence—the bedrock for successful therapy. I also believe in gently challenging you when I see incongruence, as growth often lies just outside your comfort zone. I consider myself your cheerleader, committed to building a strong therapeutic relationship, which research shows is the single largest factor (80%) in your healing and achieving your full potential. I look forward to working with you through your journey of healing.

Hello! My name is Cynthia Jones, a clinician with a master level degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Winston-Salem State University (May 2012) and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from High Point University (2003). I am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician (LCMHC). I have devoted most of my career to the field of Human Services, beginning in 2002 as a Behavioral Modification Technician at a Level III group home for adolescent females. I have over 15 years of working experience with Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples, and Families in individual and group settings; including experience working with Veterans and their families. My interests include working with all populations to overcome adversities and obstacles which may include: parents and their children individuals coping with role changes, job loss, career changes persons coping with grief, anxiety, stress, and depression youth adjusting to functional deficits and life challenges My belief is that therapy provides an opportunity for growth, self-discovery and insight in the context of a safe, supportive environment. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, significant reductions in feelings of distress and an overall improved well-being. Psychotherapy has been shown to have many benefits. However, it is difficult to predict what will happen in terms of therapeutic outcomes or to provide a clear estimate of time required for each client to reach his or her personal goals. One of the best indicators for success in therapy is the motivation level of the client such as being open to the process of change, being consistent with attending sessions and working on goals outside of sessions. Also, my belief is that each client is unique and presents with his or her own counseling needs and concerns. Utilizing one therapeutic approach may not work best for everyone. Therefore, I will utilize integrative models involving insight oriented, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Solution-Focused, Person Centered and System of Care. In our work together, it is expected that you will participate in the formation and completion of counseling goals so that our sessions will be meaningful and helpful to you. I may occasionally assign homework as a means of providing you with further reinforcement of concepts discussed in sessions and to prompt further insight and self-exploration. There are many reasons why people seek counseling. The fact that you are seeking counseling demonstrates your commitment to your mental and emotional health as well as your inner strength in identifying when seeking support is necessary. I believe that clients have the capacity to learn, change, and grow so that they may experience more meaningful, healthier, and happier lives. Whatever your reasons are for seeking services, I look forward to partnering with you on addressing whatever counseling needs you may have.
