More about Sharon

  • 25 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker in NJ with over 20 years of experience working with adults, children, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting concerns, career challenges, and ADHD.

My counseling style is positive, warm, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I believe that staying positive is key. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, and solution focused modalities. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your individual needs.

Connecting with a counselor is the fist step toward making things better. When you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
