About Sharon

Sharon Jordan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life transitions, ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related issues such as parenting, intimacy, self-esteem, and career challenges.

Background and approach

With 11 years of clinical experience, she draws on a background that includes six years in an evidence-based behavior modification program working with families facing crises and risk of out-of-home placements for children, followed by years providing therapy for depression, interpersonal struggles, attachment-related trauma, and abuse recovery.

Her style is warm, client-centered, and strengths-based, emphasizing dignity, compassion, and respect. Sharon integrates evidence-informed methods and tailors care to individual needs, combining trauma-focused and solution-oriented work with coaching when helpful.

She also attends to multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care issues, disruptive mood symptoms, social anxiety, and self-love as part of a broader, holistic approach. Sharon accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.

She aims to collaborate with each person to identify goals and pathways forward, supporting practical coping skills alongside deeper therapeutic exploration.

Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy can work for you

Internal Family Systems (IFS) explores the different parts of a person’s inner life, helping identify and compassionately relate to internal voices or roles to reduce internal conflict and heal from past wounds. This approach can be helpful for trauma, self-criticism, and complex emotional patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than trying to eliminate them. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where making value-driven choices matters.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate IFS, ACT, client-centered techniques, CBT, or DBT skills as appropriate. Together they will choose strategies that feel workable and meaningful for day-to-day life.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes or travel. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and allow clients to practice skills between appointments using the communication method that best suits their needs.
