About Sharon
Sharon Jessie uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. She introduces straightforward tools and meets each person where they are. Sharon is an LCSW, which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she draws on five years of direct practice experience in New Jersey.
Her work focuses on everyday problems that get in the way of daily life. She helps people handle low self-esteem, body image concerns, and communication problems.
How Sharon works
She also supports those coping with addiction, seasonal mood changes, hospice and end-of-life issues, and blended family stress. Sharon blends several research-backed approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses concrete skills to reduce distress, mindfulness and values-based techniques to clarify goals, and emotion regulation strategies for intense moments.
Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused, with homework and real-world practice when useful. Sharon’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps people break bigger problems into small, manageable steps.
Progress is tracked with clear goals and simple tools to try between sessions. People looking to start usually complete a short questionnaire to find a good match and then schedule sessions based on availability. Sharon provides online options including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to make engagement easier for different schedules.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Sharon uses several evidence-based techniques and adapts them to online formats so people can access practical tools from wherever they are. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment techniques emphasize noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, clarifying personal values, and taking committed action toward those values. Dialectical behavior strategies teach specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that match your goals and preferences. She treats the process as a collaboration and checks in regularly to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, live chat supports real-time typed conversation, and text messaging is useful for brief check-ins or tracking progress between meetings. These options make it simpler to work on stress, anxiety, grief, and life changes without rearranging an entire day.
