About Sharlese
Sharlese Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 18 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns including anger, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, and substance use. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking rather than labels or quick fixes.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people recognize patterns that keep them stuck. Sharlese helps clients name what they feel, learn ways to respond differently, and practice small changes that make daily life easier. This includes managing strong emotions, reducing repeated conflict, and improving communication at work and at home.
Her background includes extensive clinical experience in outpatient settings and community work spanning nearly two decades. That time has involved helping people with grief, trauma, LGBT concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and rebuilding self-esteem after difficult experiences. The approach is straightforward and practical, with steps clients can try between sessions.
Sessions often include skill-building, problem-solving, and developing healthier routines. Sharlese encourages realistic goals and tracks progress in simple ways. She also supports people who are living with someone else’s anger and those who want to reduce their own patterns of reactivity.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Sharlese draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior change and emotional skills. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for managing strong feelings and reducing impulsive reactions. This helps with anger, workplace frustration, and repeated conflict by giving simple strategies to try when tension rises.Another approach centers on improving communication and problem-solving. It teaches practical ways to express needs, set boundaries, and repair interactions after arguments. This is useful for relationship strain, parenting challenges, and building trust after repeated disputes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist and client will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what fits the client's needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps identify which techniques are most helpful and which to practice between sessions.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also make some exercises and homework easier to use in everyday routines, helping skills transfer from session to daily life.
