About Sharron

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes. She also helps people who struggle with codependency, attachment wounds, and family of origin problems.

She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in Seattle and spent two years in inpatient psychiatry at the Veterans Administration Hospital there. After returning to Louisiana she worked in child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings. For the last 13 years she has served as Clinical Director for an Intensive Outpatient Program, offering group work and individual psychotherapy.

In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based methods, client-centered principles, and mindfulness practices. She emphasizes body-mind approaches that increase bodily awareness alongside thinking and feeling. That includes learning practical skills for emotion regulation, managing impulses, and changing unhelpful behaviors.

Clients set goals together with her and build a plan to reach them. She offers a mix of skills training, reflective work on relationship patterns, and grief or trauma processing when appropriate. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

People who keep putting others first, who have trouble saying no, or who feel stuck repeating old relationship patterns may find it useful to work on boundaries, self-worth, and clearer communication. The focus tends to be on small, concrete changes that affect daily life.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when a person wants to stop struggling with difficult thoughts and start acting on what matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It offers concrete tools for sleep problems, low mood, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for managing intense emotions and impulsivity and can help with anger, self-regulation, and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT or attachment-focused work is most useful for a given concern.

Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often use practical tools like worksheets, skills coaching, and mindfulness exercises that translate well to remote sessions without promising specific services.
