Carla Jones, LCSW

Carla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Virginia with 26 years of experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting struggles, sleep problems, career pressures, and compassion fatigue.

Carla uses practical, skills-based methods that aim to make everyday life more manageable. She focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, develop clearer goals, and practice small changes that build over time. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies people can use between meetings to reduce symptoms and improve functioning.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and has run her own practice since 2008. That background includes work with individuals, couples, children, and families around common life stresses and clinical concerns. Her years in practice shape a direct, problem-solving approach that centers on what is working now and what can be changed.

In sessions she combines cognitive-behavioral ideas with solution-focused techniques. That means looking at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, and also identifying small changes that lead to measurable differences. People can expect clear goals, practical homework, and straightforward feedback to track progress.

Carla welcomes people who want a pragmatic, everyday approach to handling emotional and behavioral challenges. She offers services in English and accepts international clients, and she asks prospective clients to confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.
