Hello:
My name is Paul S. Jones, MSW, LCSW, QP. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of North Carolina. I have worked in the mental health field a total of 5 years after a 21 year career in the US Army; and retiring as an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper. My clinical expertise is with families, young adults, military veterans, and single parents that experience difficulties with parenting, deployment separation, anxiety, stress, trauma and the related hardships of resulting from those issues. My therapeutic approach is a person centered, multi-ecological domain and strengths perspective that can be from a Christian lens if desired. My goal is to assist clients with identifying the etiology of their concerns, and prompt them through developing practical life strategies to overcome stress, conflict, and inter-personal communication. Ultimately the intent will be to establish individual efficacy and sustainability through improved self-esteem, and the facilities to create, implement and accommodate life strategies that promote success.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Awesome listener, helped me enforce positive thinking and see the truth in my situation. Paul is able to identify problems and suggest solutions.
He's kind and respectful man with worldly knowledge. This has help me slowly become a more confident person.
I’ve been meeting with Paul for a couple of weeks now. I feel that he provides great insight and knowledge of life skills. I am gaining more confidence and understanding in my relationships!
Paul is a great therapist , he helped me work through my grief and made me feel like I was talking to a more educated member of my family. Would refer Paul to friends and family. Love how the app let me choose my style of therapy and a therapist catered to my preferences and my situation. Thank you guys.
It has been great
Listens well. Very perceptive.
I am new to therapy. I’m having great progress in self confidence and happiness levels with Paul Jones as my therapist. He is very helpful and provides great expertise.
I like the way he listens and always reflects back to your goals. He doesn’t judge or imposes his personal opinions. He is very professional and teaches you tools and techniques to use for everyday life. People have told me I am much calmer and pleasant since I have been seeing Mr Paul. I am more focus and my anxiety is more controlled. I still have some work to do but it’s better. And people around me have noticed a difference.
Mr Jones is hands down the best!
Paul is easy to talk to, listens and has awesome resources that are helpful!
I really enjoy talking to Paul and I’m so glad that he is able to help me through my problems
I’m not an easy person to help, I know that. Paul has the expertise, demeanor, and manly qualities I appreciate greatly & I’m seeing real changes with the strategies he is teaching me and making progress on my issues for the first time in a long time. I never write recommendations(because my time is too valuable, honestly) but I have to make a rare exception here and strongly recommend that you talk to this man.
Paul focuses on continual education and tailors his help based on an individual need and basis. Paul is caring and thoughtful and full of knowledge and experience. It's been a pleasure working with him.
He has helped me to conceptualize my areas of growth and improvement. I’m very grateful for him and his expertise.
Paul has helped me a lot with cognitive behavioral therapy, slowly but surely I’ve noticed a big change in the way I think. I do catch myself still struggling with certain issues but I would not have been able to take note of these without his help in being self aware, and making my thoughts and actions more intentional rather than reactionary.
Mr. Jones is the therapist I needed in my life
Hands-down, one of the best therapist I have had!
He really understood me and helped me to progress in my healing.
Paul has been very helpful in providing methods to help me dig deep into myself to find solutions i had been unable to on my own.he encouraged my faith and helped me be a stronger advocate for myself in dealing with my issues
Mr. Jones has been an incredible Christian therapist. He listens to me well and helps me to see the positive aspect out of every difficult circumstance I am facing. I recommend him!
Best therapist I could ask for.
Great listener and offers excellent tools and resources to add to your toolbox
Paul is insightful, professional, and caring. I appreciate his therapy experience as well as his genuine concern for his patients. He has been a blessing
Paul is very very professional and I really enjoy our conversations
Thoughtful, observant, and extremely bright. Very responsive to texts. Couldn’t recommend any higher.
Great experience, and I recommend betterhelp and Paul Jones to all the military veterans.
He is very patient and listens and provides applicable advices
Paul has given me very specific guidance relevant to my concerns in ways that have fundamentally altered my thinking for the better. I appreciate his guidance and would go so far as to say that beyond traditional client-therapist guidance and thinking. I value his guidance the same that I would the guidance of those in my life who I’ve considered the most brilliant individuals I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. It only took a few sessions for me to recognize that this is someone anyone would be truly fortunate to be able to interact with.
Paul is very good at what he does. I appreciate his insight and management technique.
Mr. Jones is an excellent therapist. Not only does he provide multiple methods of communication, but he also makes himself available for many different schedules. He provides effective treatment through a diverse toolkit of skills and strategies that you will be able to apply on your own as well. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with him, and would recommend him to those who really want expert and stellar service.
Paul provides first rate therapy and counseling
After seeing Paul for a year I can say he is consistent with responding to me and listens to understand. Great qualities to have in a therapist.
Great therapist! He's very wise and compassionate. He helped me gain a new perspective on my marriage. He also offered me some strategies which greatly improved my quality of life as someone who suffers from Adult ADD. When we got started several weeks ago, he informed me that "you get out what you put in". As men, we don't often seek help when needed. As a strong advocate of therapy, I highly recommend Prof. Jones.
Paul Jones has been helping me more each time we have a session. He really cares about my concerns and is extremely knowledgeable about what my needs are. I am so glad he is there for me. I certainly look forward to each session. Thank you (edited)
Paul Jones is Great!!!
I was hesitant at first to his approach, but after a few sessions I have seen progress and I look forward to my next appointment
Mr. Jones is the best at what he does. He knows his stuff. He is compassionate and understanding. I am a better person because of him.
Paul is so great! Somehow he manages to get so much in, in such a short period of time. He is very supportive and gets to the core of things quickly. I highly recommend Paul . He does this work with reason.
Very knowledgeable and informative. Will tell you the truth and help you grow as a person.
My first time in therapy and I’m really happy I was paired with Paul. After three sessions I already feel the improvements in my life.
Paul is a compassion therapist that uses practical tools to address complex problems. He asks good questions and is a great person. While he is no longer my therapist I would recommend him to people searching for a therapist. My needs have changed and I am stepping back from therapy altogether. I encourage anyone seeking therapy to give Paul a try.
Paul does a great job of picking up on my concerns/stressos at the time and then diving into them in order to understand how to better deal with them and how to thrive ... great therapist
Choose someone else.
I’m having great conversations with my therapist about so many different aspects in my life. Its great to have someone to talk to.
Paul is respectful and is a good listener. He has helped me in the areas I have requested. He provided resources (worksheets) for issues I was dealing with and they were very helpful. When I asked for more worksheets, he sent them. I refer back to them often. After my sessions with him I feel lighter.
Absolutely one of the best workers you guys have he gives me advice and tells me nothing but the truth even if it's not what I wanted to hear it's what I NEED to hear I love paul
Awesome guy. Listens great and responds well
For what I'm dealing with I needed the honesty that Mr. Jones provides, but I value and appreciate the support and navigation in any decision made after being provided clarity in my situation.
Paul has been great! Super compassionate and helpful.
Mr. P Jones has helped me more in 2 sessions than any other therapist so far. He is very flexible with times which is always a plus. I look forward to working more with him to see how much more growth I can accomplish!
Mr. Jones is a great listener and really understands what I need help with and gives me the tools I need
He's still doing exceptional!
He has been amazing helping me through my anxiety and depression. He understands what happened to me in the past and listens which is hard to find.
Paul is the most amazing person. He has helped me so much. I enjoy having his help threw this time of really hard time.
Paul really tries different ways to help you get through your day, whether it be breathing techniques, little worksheets to explain thoughts and feelings or just simply taking a few minutes to relax every muscle in your body. He is a great person and therapist. I definitely recommend Paul!
He is amazing
Paul has been great at helping me tap into my strengths, get through and reframe anxious and negative thinking, and improve the effectiveness of my communication. He’s been a great help to me and I’d highly recommend him!
Paul is very good at listening and hearing my issues and has a way for me to handle them.
Excellent first appointment
He’s really taking the time to get to understand me as an individual and I appreciate the time he’s taking to help me out. The information is providing is extremely relevant to my situation and I couldn’t be happier.
Paul is absolutely fantastic
Paul helped me to reconnect to my authentic self in a way that was not only encouraging but held me accountable to the false self I had created over time.
Paul is a subject matter experts who does and exceptional job!
Paul has been helpful in providing me with strategies to help in moments of high anxiety, exercises to do throughout the day to help reduce the severity and frequency of the highly anxious moments and guide me in understanding my triggers and identify my inner dialog that contributes to these feelings. I feel as though I'm healing everyday.
He is an incredible resource
Not much other than it was really great working with mr. Paul Jones
I have enjoyed my time with Paul. He has been of a great help to me in dealing with anxiety. He has been a great sounding board as well. I'm a pastor and he has helped me well from a Christian perspective.
I immediately felt I found the best therapist for me. Mr. Jones understands my situation and is helping me work through the best steps to regain my confidence, to plan, and to minimize my stress and fears.
Paul is great!
My therapy experience has been awesome I didn’t know what to expect, but I’m learning a lot about my self!
Great so far! Much better than expected.
Paul is an excellent therapist. He is working with me cognitively and giving me things to work on. He explains things in a more thorough way that gets you thinking and gives you a better understanding of yourself. I highly recommend.
Honestly I was a bit skeptical of some of his techniques at first but Paul really knows the things he advocates, I highly recommend Paul Jones to anyone with Autism, or depression.
Mr. Jones was extremely helpful for me. He really helped me work through some deep insecurities from my past that caused a lot of anger and irrational thoughts/behavior. He helped me find great coping skills to better control myself in the future. He’s a great listener and shows you that your feelings are valid while also having many many tools and strategies to help control overwhelming emotions. I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with those issues!
Paul has helped me get to a much better frame of mind. I appreciate his patience and the way he frames questions. It is clear that he listens to what I have to say carefully. He has given me the tools to confront my despairing, resentful, and anxious thoughts. He has also taken the time to help me find spiritual solutions and given me different ways to think about things. I can confidently say that with Paul's help, I will be able to live my life in a way that is more fulfilling and accepting.
Paul listens to my concerns and helps talk through strategies for dealing with life's challenges. I'm thankful that I tried the betterhelp tool and they matched me with Paul.
Mr. Jones is an amazing therapist and he listens to and responds to all my concerns. I am glad that the Lord lead me to him. He has been a blessing to me. Thanks so much!
Fantastic therapist
Great experience and well grounded Therapist
Mr. Jones has been an exceptional throughout my entire Experience!
Paul has been like a ray of light in the darkness. His methods are problem solving focused and have helped me come out of a deep depression. He has helped me reframe the way I think about life experiences from negative to positive. He also considers my spiritual beliefs in the process. I am looking forward to learning more from him and applying it to my daily life.
I came to therapy because I realized that I had hit a point where I needed help processing things from the past that I never really properly looked at that still impact me to this day. Paul has been incredible. Ever session is incredibly positive and his smooth delivery and guidance makes me almost feel as if I’m arriving at these answers myself. I feel comfortable talking to Paul about anything. Highly recommend.
He's great!
Have appreciated reference to scriptural references. Also have appreciated good humor and worksheet references
Paul has been a great resource for me during a difficult time. He has offered me a variety of ways to help alleviate the mental challenges I have faced. he is great at challenging me and supporting me at the same time.
Paul has been insightful, kind and supportive. He has helped me greatly.
Both myself and my family (wife and kids) can tell that I am a healthier person than I was before, and I am becoming the person they need me to be and that I need to be.
After my first session i felt very confident in Mr. Jones’s expertise.
In our first visit Paul provided me with actionable advice and strategies to combat my anxiety and begin healing my trauma. I look forward to my own progress and learning more from Paul.
Paul is very well-mannered, patient, a good listener, and gives very thorough advice without seeming judgmental or condescending. I will continue to pursue therapy with Paul and I am happy I was matched with him. I would advise anyone else to work with him.
He's very smart,nice, caring,he understands
I am completely satisfied with the therapy Mr. Jones provides. I feel confident and excited about the progress I am making. He has given me several strategies to use for self-control and anger management. I am blessed to have such knowledgeable therapist and I look forward to every session.
Fantastic listener who takes a proactive approach to recovery.
Appreciate that Paul was supportive at the outset and offered useful exercise and journal options
Paul is absolutely fantastic. He has helped me a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend him to anyone who needs help.
I have greatly appreciated my sessions with Paul. He has a long history of working with clients and a wealth of expertise. I especially enjoy how he has a vast knowledge of spiritual-based counseling, but he uses it subtly. He waits for my cues and spiritual interests before delving deeper, and I appreciate this. He has been very encouraging and offers excellent tools for stress-management, parenting, and self-affirmation. I would highly recommend!
Great therapist who knows exactly what to say to help you feel better mentally. He also has great worksheets for improving mental stability and strength. Very positive
I have only met with Paul twice via videoconference! I was a little unsure of how I would feel doing a video conference or a counselor via the Internet but my daughter who is studying to be a mental health therapist did this for me and I am so happy she has and signed me up because I kept saying oh I’ll do it later I’ll do it later… And we all know how that goes, yeah don’t do it. I am so pleasantly surprised at how much I like Paul and am comfortable with him. Would highly recommend Paul and this service
Paul has been great to work with. His knowledge of psychological development is amazing. Being that I am of a Christian faith, he uses a balance of psychology and scripture in guiding our discussions. He would be great for anyone of Christian or non-Christian background, as he does not force issues of faith during the conversations.
After only two sessions I would highly recommend Paul Jones. I feel very comfortable and I appreciate the constructive feedback. Change is not always easy, but with his support, it already feels more manageable.
He has helped me a lot in the little time I have been in contact with him
He has been extremely helpful so far. It’s actually me who’s been on the lack side of things. I would recommend him to anyone seeking help in the same way I am.
A great listener and clear thinker. Very helpful in both a spiritual and practical manner.
Paul Jones is a great counselor, he is doing a very good job.
I’ve known Mr. Jones in a short amount of time but he has been a great therapist thus far! I would recommend him to other individuals seeking therapy.
Paul is a great counselor. He's an active listener and committed to helping you understand how your brain works and responds. He also makes sure you're active in the healing process, with worksheets and discussions of coping strategies for working on your own time. Healing is a full time job and Paul seems committed to helping you strengthen yourself to be successful.
Easy to talk to. Warm, friendly and inviting. Willing to listen, restate and develop plans in tandem with me.
