Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Crystal Jones

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe every person deserves a safe space to heal, grow, and rediscover their strengths. I am Crystal Jones, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families across school, community, and outpatient mental health settings.

My professional journey has been rooted in helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and practical support. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from East Carolina University and my Master of Social Work from North Carolina Central University. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, behavioral concerns, self-esteem challenges, and family relationship difficulties.

I strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. I recognize that healing is not one-size-fits-all, and I am committed to meeting each client where they are while helping them move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Whether you are seeking support during a difficult season or working toward personal growth, I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you on your journey.

Therapist

Are you ready for change? I work with individuals who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and create meaningful change. My goal is to meet you where you're at in helping you navigate through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, or if you're simply feeling stuck and unsure of a way forward. Many recognize that the ways they have been coping are no longer working, or they may be experiencing a significant change, loss, conflict, or period of emotional distress and I can help by supporting you in processing dark or difficult times and learning new skills to adapt and overcome.
