About June
June Sharkey is a licensed social worker in Nevada with 20 years of experience. She uses clear, practical talk to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. June aims to make the first step feel doable and respects each person's situation and strengths.
June favors straightforward conversations and plans that fit a person's life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for managing upsetting thoughts and strong emotions.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, useful changes that build confidence over time. When parenting feels overwhelming, she helps parents sort priorities, set boundaries, and find routines that reduce daily friction. For trauma and abuse, June works slowly and carefully to restore a sense of control and safety in everyday life.
Her approach blends skill-building with a caring tone. She tailors sessions to what each person needs, whether that means short-term coping tools or longer work on patterns that keep causing pain. Progress is measured in concrete steps people can use between sessions.
June encourages people to take the step that feels right for them. She offers clear explanations of tools and gives space for people to try new responses. Many clients leave sessions with at least one practical thing to try before the next meeting.
How CBT and DBT translate to online therapy
June uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress because it focuses on concrete steps you can practice between sessions.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs tools to manage intense reactions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. If something does not feel right, she will adjust the plan together with the client.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and exercises, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or text works well for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
