About Sharon
LCSW in New Jersey with 5 years of experience, Sharon Jessie focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and works with people facing blended family concerns, body image struggles, communication problems, addiction, forgiveness, end-of-life issues, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and self-love needs. Sessions are conducted in English.
Sharon describes her practice as strengths-based and individualized. She draws on components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help people identify practical steps that fit their lives. The emphasis is on collaboration and steady effort between therapist and client.
Her background includes long-term work in varied settings, from supporting pregnant teens to counseling around end-of-life matters. That range informs how she approaches complex personal and family challenges without assuming a single solution. She aims to help clients set clear goals and work toward them with concrete skills.
In sessions Sharon focuses on actionable strategies - for example, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing acceptance skills, and learning emotion-regulation techniques. She also addresses substance use concerns and communication difficulties with problem-solving and behavioral tools. The work is paced to match each person’s situation.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Sharon uses evidence-based techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. CBT components focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. ACT elements teach people to clarify values and take committed action while accepting difficult feelings. DBT techniques emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication for people who struggle with intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few tools and adjusting the plan over time based on what helps most.
Confirm the specific session formats she currently offers before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes ongoing work more consistent when life changes make in-person meetings difficult. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively via remote sessions, and Sharon will discuss practical arrangements when you schedule your first appointment.
