About Sharon
Sharon Nunez is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through stressful periods and major life changes. She practices in New York and focuses on emotional challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. Sharon often supports parents who are looking for clearer communication and better ways to cope with parenting strain.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage symptoms and make day-to-day life feel more workable.
Background and approach
Sessions are a mix of practical skill-building and time to talk about difficult feelings. Sharon listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, achievable goals. Her background includes long experience supporting people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness, divorce and separation, and issues tied to family of origin.
She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, aging and geriatric matters, and fertility-related stress. This experience informs how she tailors plans to a person’s situation. Sharon aims to create a calm, respectful space where parents and individuals can sort priorities and build clearer communication habits.
She pays attention to cultural influences and life-stage transitions when helping clients make changes. The work tends to move at the client’s pace, with practical tools added as needed. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Costs vary with location and therapist availability, and therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach involves teaching coping and stress-management skills to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning; this often includes breathing, scheduling, and step-by-step problem solving that people can practice between sessions. Another emphasis is on communication skills training, which helps parents and individuals express needs, set boundaries, and handle difficult conversations in clearer ways.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sharon works collaboratively to figure out which techniques match a person’s goals, life stage, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts strategies if something is not helping, so the plan stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick access for brief updates, progress notes, or short problem-solving between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and other life demands.
