Jasmine Owarish-Gross, LCSW - Therapist in New Jersey

About Jasmine

Jasmine Owarish-Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nine years of experience. She practices in New Jersey and brings practical care to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and related struggles. Jasmine emphasizes building on what is already working in a person's life.

She encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time. She trained and worked in inpatient medical and psychiatric settings early in her career. That background shaped her comfort with complex situations and helped her learn to coordinate care across teams.

Background and approach

Jasmine also has a sports medicine background that informs her focus on behavior change and whole-body health. She often discusses sleep, movement, and daily routines as part of emotional wellness. In sessions she uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach coping skills.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and make steady progress. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with practical steps to try between meetings. Jasmine works with teens and adults and commonly addresses family issues, parenting concerns, grief, addictions, mood disorders, and trauma-related problems.

She pays attention to communication patterns, impulsivity, and self-esteem as part of that work. Her approach balances compassion with concrete strategies. If someone is juggling life changes or feeling stuck, she helps break big problems into manageable pieces.

Jasmine asks questions, introduces simple exercises, and supports clients as they test new habits. The aim is steady, sustainable improvement rather than quick fixes.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It can be useful for stress, low mood, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. It offers practical exercises for everyday situations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to manage intense feelings and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals, talk about different methods, and adapt techniques to fit your needs and preferences. Together you decide what to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families and people with limited travel options. Options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so tools and coaching can continue between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into hectic schedules while still using CBT, DBT, or ACT strategies in practical ways.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
