About Carla
Carla Jones is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia. She has 26 years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and sleep problems. Carla writes in a direct, practical way and aims to make starting therapy easier for worried parents and busy adults.
Carla earned her Master of Social Work at Virginia Commonwealth University and has run her own practice since 2008. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and changes tied to career or life transitions. She also supports people navigating LGBTQ issues and self-esteem challenges.
She uses cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, short-term goals and track small wins. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs so clients leave with practical steps they can try between visits.
Carla recognizes that reaching out for help can feel daunting. She talks plainly about symptoms and coping strategies so people know what to expect. Her approach aims to be collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients manage emotions, behavior, and sleep routines over time.
If you are considering therapy for stress, sleep concerns, parenting strain, or mood symptoms, Carla guides the conversation toward doable changes and steady progress.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Carla uses cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice thoughts and habits that interfere with sleep, mood, or daily functioning, then practices new coping steps. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and ADHD-related routines. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and small changes that quickly build momentum, which often fits people who want a practical, time-limited focus.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will look at symptoms, goals, and personal preferences to decide which techniques to try first, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps tailor strategies to each person’s life and schedule.
The profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. Some people also find remote sessions useful for steady follow-up on sleep routines and practicing behavioral changes between appointments.
