About Sharon

Sharon Jordan is an LCSW based in New York who focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life transitions, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of relationship and family challenges.

Background and approach

With 11 years of professional experience, she draws on a background that includes six years in a behavior modification program helping families stabilize during crises and prevent out-of-home placements. That early work informs her approach to attachment-related trauma, parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and disruptive mood challenges such as DMDD.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, client-centered, and strengths-based, emphasizing dignity, compassion, and respect. Sharon integrates evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered and mindfulness approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

She also brings attention to multicultural concerns, self-love, social anxiety, and intimacy-related problems. Sharon aims to collaborate with clients to identify practical steps toward their goals while holding space for the courage it takes to change.

She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering flexible formats to match different preferences and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical support

Sharon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, providing concrete tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify personal values and learn skills for accepting difficult emotions while taking meaningful action. Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her practice, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so clients feel heard and able to direct the pace of change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s goals, preferences, and life situation. Together clients and therapist will explore which combination of strategies fits best and adjust plans as needs evolve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access care from New York or abroad, accommodate busy routines, and allow ongoing work between live sessions when helpful.
