About Shasha

Shasha Jones is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania with 11 years of counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, career matters, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Shasha describes perception as central to how people experience problems. She focuses on small, manageable steps and practical shifts in how someone views a difficulty. Sessions tend to involve direct, conversational work and concrete techniques rather than abstract theory. She uses methods drawn from cognitive and behavioral approaches alongside emotion-oriented work.

Her background blends mental health and administrative roles. Before counseling she worked in customer relations and finance for over 15 years and served in the United States Air Force for more than eight years. In mental health settings she has held roles from direct care worker to outpatient therapist and behavioral specialist consultant.

Shasha lists several clinical approaches she draws on, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She also references work with brain injury, rehabilitation, and behavioral interventions in previous positions.

Her practice emphasizes practical tools for home life. She often uses stories and metaphors to clarify ideas. People who contact her can expect straightforward conversation, skills practice, and a focus on changing daily perceptions and routines.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT work often focuses on simple exercises to clarify what matters and short practices to change behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits. In online sessions this can include homework, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional patterns and improving how someone responds in close relationships. Online EFT-style work typically involves tracking interactions and practicing new ways of expressing emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose which methods fit the client's goals and daily life. That choice can shift over time based on how well particular tools help with parenting stress, relationship tension, trauma reactions, or mood concerns.

The practical aim of online work is to make therapy fit daily routines. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break, avoid travel time, or use lower-bandwidth options when connection is limited. Licensed professionals delivering remote therapy often assign short exercises between sessions to practice skills at home and reinforce progress.
