Jane Sperry Jones

Jane Sperry Jones writes from a place of hard-earned understanding about how people move through trouble, recovery, and change. She brings lived experience together with professional training and holds licenses as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina, including NC LCMHC 13366.

With 12 years of professional clinical work and more than 22 years in the field overall, Jane commonly supports people who have histories of trauma, substance use, mental health challenges, and co-occurring disorders. She also addresses related concerns such as stress and anxiety, grief, depression, anger, relationship and sexual issues, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem difficulties, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Her therapeutic approach emphasizes changing entrenched behavioral patterns through psychodynamic-informed methods. She uses Re-Decision Therapy - a blend of Gestalt and Transactional Analysis - Trauma Resolution Energy Therapy (TRET), noted as similar to EMDR and described as comparable in effectiveness, and Narrative Therapy techniques including therapeutic writing and journaling learned through training with Kathleen Adams at the Center for Journal Therapy.

Jane collaborates with each person to identify the approaches that fit best, teaching practical skills and fostering the mindset needed to pursue the changes they want. Her work centers on helping people find their voice, strengthen confidence, and apply insight and skills to improve relationships and daily life. She practices in North Carolina and brings both empathy and clinical experience to the therapeutic process.
