Sharon Jessie

Sharon Jessie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers practical, strengths-based help for people facing depression, anxiety, and major life changes. She presents a steady, down-to-earth approach and starts by meeting each person where they are.

Sharon uses an individualized strengths-based method that draws on components of cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions focus on real-life skills, clearer thinking, and steps people can take between meetings.

She has long experience supporting people through substance use concerns, grief, and family stress. Sharon also works with body image issues, communication problems, and seasonal mood shifts. She describes her role as helping people identify goals and make steady progress toward them.

Sharon’s background includes many years of varied work in social services, from supporting pregnant teens to counseling around end-of-life situations. That breadth of experience informs practical problem solving and calm, straightforward guidance in sessions.

Starting therapy can feel hard and uncertain. Sharon aims to make the first steps easier by listening first, then building a plan together. People who want consistent, compassionate support for depression, anxiety, coping with change, or eating and food-related concerns may find her approach helpful.

How evidence-based methods and online care can fit into life

Sharon combines practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice thoughts and values, then take steps that align with what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon collaborates with each person to test methods, adjust what isn’t working, and build a plan that fits the client’s goals and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps make therapy feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach skills, track progress, and support changes between meetings, while working with clients to find the format that best matches their needs and routines.
