About Sharron
Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strains, and questions about life purpose. She also supports those coping with trauma, sleep problems, anger, self‑esteem struggles, and major life changes.
She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2001 and worked in inpatient psychiatry at the Veterans Administration Hospital there for two years. After returning to Louisiana she has worked in child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings. For the last 13 years she served as Clinical Director for an Intensive Outpatient Program delivering group and individual psychotherapy.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Self‑Compassion Therapy. She uses body‑mind based methods that encourage awareness of how physical sensations and habits relate to feelings and behavior. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small experiments to test what helps in daily life.
In sessions she works with each person to clarify short‑term goals and create a practical plan of care. Expect a collaborative process that reviews progress and adjusts strategies as needs change. The focus is on usable tools to reduce distress and make clearer choices about work, relationships, and personal direction.
She practices in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site's booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone is unsure about meaning, purpose, or next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and uses small practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and sleep issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what shows early benefit. That collaborative selection can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people find phone or video sessions easier to manage around work or caregiving responsibilities, or prefer shorter check‑ins on busy days. Because specific session formats were not listed in the biography, confirm the current online options before booking so sessions can be planned to fit daily life.
