About Sharon
Sharon Jessie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with five years of clinical experience. She sees adults who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sharon also lists blended family issues, body image, communication problems, substance use, forgiveness, hospice and end-of-life concerns, seasonal affective disorder, and self-love as areas she addresses.
Sharon uses a strengths-based approach and works with each person from their current situation. She draws on elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to shape sessions. That means conversations focus on understanding patterns, noticing what matters most, and building practical skills for coping.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. Sharon helps people set short-term steps and practice new ways of handling difficult feelings. She brings experience from a range of roles, including counseling pregnant teens and supporting families through end-of-life care, and applies that background to everyday problems and transitions.
When someone is coping with a new partner and children, loyalty conflicts, or the stress of merging households, Sharon helps clarify priorities and set boundaries. She also assists people facing substance use issues, communication breakdowns, grief, or seasonal mood changes.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session. Sharon works in New Jersey and conducts work in English. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies by location.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Sharon draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. That work often involves setting small practice tasks and reviewing what did or did not help during the week.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas to clarify personal values and encourage actions that reflect those values even when feelings are difficult. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication in stressful moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, daily life, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans as needed so the work stays relevant and doable.
