About Lottie
Lottie Jones is a South Carolina LISW-CP - a licensed independent social worker-clinical practice - with 14 years of experience in mental health and counseling. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and parenting concerns, including guilt and shame.
She respects that people carry strengths they can use in hard times. In sessions she treats clients as the expert on their own story and helps them notice what already works. She aims to make conversations straightforward and encouraging, and she acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage.
Her approach draws on practical methods that focus on thoughts, values, and present steps. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work. Sessions include talking through patterns, practicing new ways of responding, and setting doable goals.
Lottie brings a down-to-earth style to therapy. She blends clinical focus with a light touch and occasional humor when appropriate. The work balances exploration of difficult feelings with concrete skills to manage stress, navigate relationships, and address troubling memories or behavior.
Outside of clinical work she is a wife and mother of two young children and enjoys reading, music, and travel. She aims to keep sessions calm and practical so people leave feeling steadier and clearer about next steps.
How her approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard feelings appear. It focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with a chosen life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical skills for anxiety, depression, and recurring guilt. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and improving how people handle conflict. Techniques include grounding, distress tolerance, and clearer communication strategies. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences. That plan can shift over time as needs change. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing check-ins from different locations. Some formats may be better when you need a shorter check-in or want to avoid video, while others suit longer, skills-focused sessions. Discuss practical arrangements during the first scheduling step so sessions match your routine and needs.Areas of expertise
