About Sharron

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Louisiana with 24 years of experience. She focuses on managing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, parenting strains, anger, self-esteem, career matters, bipolar mood issues, and coping with life changes.

She trained at the University of Washington in Seattle, then worked in inpatient psychiatry at the Veterans Administration Hospital for two years. After returning to Louisiana she worked in child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings. For the last 13 years she has served as Clinical Director of an intensive outpatient program, running group and individual psychotherapy.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and Self-Compassion Therapy. Sessions often include body-mind practices that build awareness of physical states and how they link to emotions and behavior.

In practical terms she works with clients to set clear goals and create a plan that fits those goals. Therapy can include skills practice, mindfulness exercises, and strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Sessions mix talk with concrete exercises focused on what the client needs to manage day-to-day problems.

Her background in inpatient psychiatry and community services informs treatment for people dealing with complex stressors. She draws on group work and individual therapy experience to support people who want steadier mood regulation, fewer reactive outbursts, or better ways to handle relationship stress.

Online work with ACT, CBT and attachment-based ideas

Sharron uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. ACT often helps when anger is tied to frustration about life goals or a sense of stuckness.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that fuel anger and to practice alternative responses. CBT offers concrete tools for changing reactions at work or in close relationships. Attachment-based ideas inform how early relationship patterns can shape current triggers and how new ways of connecting reduce reactivity.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining skills practice, mindfulness, and body-awareness exercises in a way that feels practical.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use less bandwidth when video is difficult. Many clients find remote sessions help them apply skills directly into daily life without major disruption.
