About Jasmine

Jasmine Owarish-Gross is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who brings nine years of professional experience working across inpatient medical and psychiatric settings.

Background and approach

She has provided counseling primarily to teens and adults and integrates evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, and mood disorders.

Her approach emphasizes clients' strengths and promotes whole-body wellbeing, drawing on a sports medicine background that supports behavioral change and practical health strategies. Jasmine values the courage it takes to seek help and aims to work collaboratively with clients to identify goals, build coping skills, and apply strategies that fit daily life.

She offers multiple session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules, and uses her clinical experience to tailor care to each individual's circumstances and preferences.

Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Skill Building

Jasmine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and obsessive or compulsive concerns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support values-based action and to help people make space for difficult emotions while moving toward meaningful goals. Where appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are introduced for learning emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Jasmine works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and life context to determine which techniques or combination of approaches feel most useful, and she adapts plans as therapy progresses to fit changing needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access consistent care from New Jersey without having to travel, making it easier to practice skills between sessions and to engage in therapy when it fits into daily life.
