About Sharon

Sharon Nunez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, parenting concerns, family issues, and coping with life changes. Sharon also lists life purpose among her areas of focus and works with people who are rethinking priorities after major events.

Sharon listens for the practical problems behind overwhelm and helps people talk through what is getting in the way. Sessions often address communication problems, family of origin issues, divorce and separation, and the strain of caregiving. She also works with concerns such as abandonment, isolation, body image, and challenges related to aging, chronic illness, or disability.

Her work pays attention to everyday pressures and to transitions big and small. That includes questions about fertility, grief, forgiveness, and finding direction later in life. She notes experience with autism and intellectual disability within the context of these concerns.

Sharon draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people develop coping strategies and clearer next steps. She frames sessions around realistic changes someone can try between meetings and practical ways to improve communication with others. The emphasis is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Sharon practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

Approaches for moving forward, and how online sessions fit

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations toward practical change. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving; this can help with anxiety, depression, and decision uncertainty. Another approach centers on behavioral strategies - setting manageable goals, building routines, and rehearsing communication skills - which often helps people manage stress and family conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what is or isn’t working.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, avoid travel time, and have shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow a person to continue work during life transitions without rearranging other commitments. Ask about session lengths and formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so the first appointment meets your practical needs.
