Shawnda Jones, LMHC

Shawnda Jones is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who want clearer ways to handle stress, anger, relationship tension, grief, trauma, mood struggles, and life transitions.

She meets people who are trying to stop snapping at those they care about, manage workplace frustration, reduce impulsive reactions, or process past harms. Shawnda describes collaboration as central - she and the person set goals and decide how to move forward together. She uses practical tools in sessions rather than abstract language.

Her practice blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Sessions often include talking through reactions and practicing different responses to difficult moments.

Shawnda has a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Harding University. She has had additional training in grief and trauma therapy that informs her approach.

People who come to her typically want straightforward strategies for emotion regulation, clearer communication in relationships, and relief from repeated negative patterns. She works in a collaborative way to identify coping skills, address family of origin and control issues, and reduce the intensity of strong emotions like anger and shame.
