About Sharron

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress and anxiety alongside many life challenges. She brings 24 years of clinical experience to conversations about depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Sharron trained with a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and has worked in inpatient psychiatry, child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings. For the last 13 years she served as Clinical Director for an Intensive Outpatient Program, leading both group and individual psychotherapy.

In session she blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), with mindfulness and self-compassion practices. She emphasizes body-mind work that increases body awareness and supports emotional regulation. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills the person can try between meetings.

People meet Sharron for help with addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, and career stress as well as more complex issues like attachment wounds, codependency, chronic illness, and compassion fatigue. She designs individualized plans that reflect each person's needs and values.

She aims to create a warm, steady space where people feel safe to try new coping strategies. If someone is ready to begin, she will work alongside them to set meaningful goals and track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Sharron often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT focuses on small, achievable steps and homework that can fit into daily life.

She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify values and make space for difficult feelings while taking actions that matter. ACT is useful for stress, grief, and ongoing life changes where acceptance and committed action are both needed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose methods and adjust the plan as progress is measured.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from different parts of Louisiana without changing therapists, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding extra steps.
