Natalie Jones, LICSW

Natalie Jones is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who transitioned into the helping professions after a mid-career move from the business sector. She earned a Master of Social Work from Wheelock College in Boston in 2006 while working full time and attending classes in the evenings, and she built deep experience supporting children and families over a 15-year span.

Her clinical work has primarily taken place in clients’ homes, where she provided emotional support and guidance as an individual therapist. Many of the people she has worked with have carried the long-term effects of childhood trauma as well as struggles with addiction, emotional distress, depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses. Treatment approaches are tailored to each person and often combine strategies to address both symptoms and underlying patterns.

Natalie draws on a range of interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, guided imagery, motivational coaching, and the Cycle of Change model. She emphasizes honest, trust-based relationships and aims to create a nurturing space where difficult emotions can be expressed. Listening closely and responding with empathy and compassion are central to her style.

She values open-mindedness and a nonjudgmental stance, recognizing how challenging it can be to trust someone with intimate thoughts and feelings. Natalie can be direct when the situation calls for it, but she pairs clarity with gentleness and kindness. She works collaboratively with clients to set realistic goals and sees therapy as a team effort to change harmful patterns and improve outcomes.
