About Sharron
Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. She uses straightforward, practical work to help clients handle anger, sleep problems, relationship strain, and life changes. Her approach is calm and warm and focused on what will help day to day.
Sharron earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2001 and worked in inpatient psychiatry at a Veterans Administration hospital.
Background and approach
She returned to Louisiana and has practiced across child welfare, community mental health, and hospital settings. For more than a decade she has led an Intensive Outpatient Program and provided both group and individual psychotherapy. Her style blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with mindfulness and self-compassion practices.
She often focuses on body-mind connections and increasing body awareness as a way to reduce distress. Sessions emphasize clear goals and step-by-step plans a person can use between meetings. Sharron helps people facing attachment and abandonment concerns, family-of-origin patterns, codependency, chronic illness, and caregiving fatigue.
She also works with issues such as career stress, self-esteem, impulsivity, and finding life purpose. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People meet her for practical tools and steady support when life feels overwhelming.
She aims to help clients build skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sharron commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with small behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, or sleep issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take manageable actions toward what matters, which is useful for life changes, grief, and chronic stress.She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That approach helps with attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and recurring relationship problems by exploring connection needs and safer ways to seek support. Together with the client she will discuss which approaches fit best and adjust methods as goals evolve so the plan stays collaborative and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face work and longer sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, daily skills practice, and quick problem-solving between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats while finding what works best.
