About Jasmine
Jasmine Owarish-Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of experience. She has worked in inpatient medical and psychiatric settings and has provided counseling to teens and adults. Jasmine lists a range of concerns she helps people with, including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting, anger, addictions, and career-related problems.
She uses a strengths-based approach and encourages people to notice the abilities they already have. Jasmine also emphasizes healthy living and the connection between physical health and mental wellbeing. Her background in sports medicine informs practical behavior-change strategies she brings into sessions.
In practice she blends techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). That mix supports work on emotion regulation, unhelpful thinking patterns, and values-based action. Sessions include skills training, behavioral experiments, and conversational work about day-to-day challenges.
Jasmine often focuses on realistic, concrete steps people can try between visits. She talks through tools for managing anger, improving sleep, handling cravings, and repairing communication. The emphasis is on small changes that fit into everyday life.

How ACT, CBT and DBT inform online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with what matters to the person. It can help reduce reactive patterns like snapping or holding grudges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to spot and challenge unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors to see what changes. That approach is useful for anger tied to automatic thoughts or workplace stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which supports people who want concrete tools to manage intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jasmine will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and daily life. She adapts evidence-based skills to individual needs and checks in about what helps and what doesn’t.
Confirm the available session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid commuting on a work break. Different approaches lend themselves to different practical exercises during remote meetings, and a therapist can suggest which method and session length will best match the person’s goals.
