About Sharon
Sharon Nunez is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through major life changes. She works from New York and focuses on practical ways to manage anxiety, stress, depression, and difficult family situations. Sharon aims to create a calm place to talk and figure out next steps together.
Sharon's work often addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, aging concerns, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
Her background includes long experience navigating family of origin issues, communication breakdowns, and feelings of isolation. In sessions she uses straightforward conversations and concrete coping tools. Clients can expect help identifying patterns, learning simple skills for daily life, and setting small, realistic goals.
Sharon pays attention to cultural context and how it shapes choices and relationships. She has particular experience with challenges around abandonment, fertility worries, body image struggles, and intellectual or developmental differences such as autism and Asperger syndrome. That experience informs how she tailors practical strategies to each person’s situation.
Sharon believes progress comes from steady work rather than quick fixes. She supports people who want clearer boundaries, better communication, or more ease in everyday life. Her goal is to help people feel more able to handle change and move toward what matters to them.
How therapeutic approaches meet flexible online care
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on helping people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One common approach emphasizes practical skill-building for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, grounding, and simple routines to manage daily overwhelm. This style is useful for people who need quick tools to reduce distress and improve functioning.Another approach centers on exploring family and relationship patterns to improve communication and boundaries. It helps people understand repeated dynamics from their family of origin and try new ways of relating. That work can ease tensions around parenting, caregiver roles, and separation decisions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try different techniques, and adjust as you make progress. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit best for each concern and life situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper conversations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging provide quick check-ins or shorter exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain steady contact as needs change.
