About Sharon
Sharon Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also supports clients with parenting challenges, ADHD, addiction concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, self-esteem struggles, and career stresses. Sharon writes plainly and listens carefully so parents and adults can talk through tough moments and find practical steps forward.
Sharon brings eleven years of experience in social work and therapeutic settings.
Background and approach
Before independent practice she spent six years working in a behavior modification program that stabilized families facing crisis and the risk of out-of-home placement for a child. That background informs how she helps people handle urgent family problems and parenting strain. Her approach is warm and client-centered.
Sessions focus on treating people with dignity and respect while identifying their strengths. Sharon uses evidence-informed methods and practical coping skills so people can try new ways of managing emotions and relationships. In session she blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools.
She also draws on client-centered and dialectical strategies to help people build emotional balance and practical routines. This mix is aimed at creating small, doable changes rather than overwhelming plans. Sharon works with issues related to adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, social anxiety, and compassion fatigue.
She welcomes conversations about goals and practical next steps. If someone needs guidance, she helps set a clear path toward manageable change.
How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them, and then commit to actions that fit their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity and increase calm, often paired with other methods to help manage stress and trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She often combines elements from these approaches so the plan fits what the person wants to achieve rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial cues and do exercises together. Phone sessions can be a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins, quick skill reminders, and a way to stay connected between sessions. These options give flexibility for parents, workers, and people managing multiple responsibilities.
