Sharron Lewis

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Louisiana who helps people manage anger, stress, anxiety, and related struggles. She brings 24 years of experience in behavioral health and outpatient care. Her approach aims to make difficult feelings easier to understand and live with. Sharron draws on plainspoken methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). She also uses attachment-based ideas and client-centered work to help people notice habits, thoughts, and body sensations that keep problems stuck. Sessions often focus on concrete skills and simple exercises you can practice between visits. Her background includes a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington and early work in inpatient psychiatry at a Veterans Administration hospital in Seattle. Since returning to Louisiana she has worked in child welfare, community mental health, and hospitals. For over a decade she directed an Intensive Outpatient Program offering both group and individual psychotherapy. In sessions Sharron helps people set clear goals and build a step-by-step plan. She emphasizes body-mind awareness and practical tools to reduce reactivity and improve relationships. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Many come for help with anger, depression, trauma, grief, addiction, sleep problems, or parenting strain. Sharron supports people who want clearer thinking, steadier moods, and healthier ways to cope with life changes and recurring patterns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action. It can help with anger, anxiety, and life changes by teaching small steps that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can reduce reactivity and improve communication.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This collaborative process guides which methods and exercises to try first and what to adjust over time.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from a quieter location. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where problems come up and return between sessions with observations to discuss.
