About Sharon
Sharon Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She works with issues like ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and career stress. Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care questions, multicultural concerns, and compassion fatigue.
Her style is warm and client-centered. She aims to create a respectful space where people feel heard and treated with dignity.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps you can try between sessions as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Sharon uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to address unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to build present-moment awareness, and acceptance and commitment concepts to clarify values and goals.
Dialectical behavior skills are used when intense emotions or relationship strain need steadying. Before becoming a clinician she spent six years in a behavior modification program that worked directly with families facing crises and risk of out-of-home placement. That experience shaped how she supports parents and caregivers under pressure.
She brings eleven years of overall experience in social work and therapy. Sharon accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. She offers a variety of online formats and works collaboratively to find approaches that fit each person’s goals.
If you are seeking practical guidance and steady support, she invites you to reach out.

How Sharon’s approaches work in online sessions
Sharon often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She applies these methods in a collaborative way. Together the therapist and client decide which tools to try based on the person’s goals, daily routines, and what feels most useful. This means treatment can shift over time if different skills are needed for parenting stress, grief, or trauma-related symptoms.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversations and skill coaching. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people check in between appointments or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep consistent momentum between sessions.
