Sharron Lewis , LCSW

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career pressure, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Her work includes attention to attachment wounds, abandonment, codependency, and family of origin issues.

Sharron trained at the University of Washington where she earned a Master of Social Work in 2001. Early in her career she worked in inpatient psychiatry at a Veterans Administration hospital in Seattle. She later returned to Louisiana and has since worked in child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings.

For the last 13 years she has served as Clinical Director for an Intensive Outpatient Program. In that role she provided both group and individual psychotherapy and helped shape treatment plans for people with complex needs. That experience informs her approach to working with people who need structure and practical tools.

Her style blends hands-on skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy with acceptance and commitment methods and mindfulness. She emphasizes body-mind approaches that build body awareness alongside emotional work. Sessions focus on clear goals and step-by-step plans tailored to each person.

Sharron aims to create a warm, steady space where people can name what matters to them and practice new ways of coping. She works collaboratively to set goals and track progress. Her background makes her comfortable supporting people through big life changes and persistent struggles.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small committed actions toward those values. It aims to reduce the hold of painful thoughts and to increase meaningful activity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical experiments to change behaviors and feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they will choose or combine methods and adjust the plan as needs evolve so sessions stay relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for exercises and face-to-face conversation, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low, live chat suits brief check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and maintain continuity when life changes.
