Autumn Schoonover

DSW, LCSW

Autumn Schoonover, DSW, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate of Social Work from Barry University, where she specialized in trauma-informed care. She also holds a Master of Social Work from the joint program at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro and North Carolina A&T State University, along with a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

Autumn brings a diverse background in mental health, with experience in collegiate counseling, community mental health, and integrated care settings. These experiences have shaped her person-centered, trauma-informed approach—one that values genuine connection and the therapeutic relationship above diagnoses or labels.

She works with adolescents and adults navigating a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, stress, self-esteem challenges, and women’s issues. Autumn integrates evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and experiential techniques to support emotional regulation, strengthen relationships, and promote overall well-being. Faith can also be incorporated into sessions upon request.

Autumn believes therapy can be both meaningful and engaging. She strives to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey. Outside of her work at One80 Counseling, Autumn enjoys spending time with her family, cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes, and curling up with a good book.
