About June
June Sharkey is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of experience using practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy principles to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills, and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns. Known for a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate manner, June adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s circumstances and goals.
Her work also addresses parenting challenges, confidence and self-esteem, and motivation, aiming to translate therapeutic insight into everyday change. She encourages prospective clients to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin therapy and to view the first steps as meaningful progress toward better functioning and wellbeing.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Emotional Care
June brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online work to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach is often used for stress, anxiety, low mood, and problems that benefit from practical skills and structured exercises. Dialectical Behavior Therapy components are also available to strengthen distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or chronic stress are present.Figuring out which approach fits best is collaborative. The therapist will explore a client's goals, daily challenges, and personal preferences to tailor a plan that blends techniques from these approaches as needed. That process allows for adjustments over time so treatment stays aligned with what the client wants to accomplish.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit ongoing work into busy lives and to access a licensed professional without travel, while still focusing on practical skill-building and real-world application.
