About June

June Sharkey uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and parenting challenges. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, with 20 years of experience in Nevada. June focuses on clear, direct conversation and small steps clients can try between sessions.

She aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed. Her work often addresses trauma and abuse, low self esteem, motivation, and depression.

Background and approach

June adapts Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to fit each persons needs. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and test small changes in daily life. June describes her style as respectful and compassionate.

She listens for what matters most to the client and shapes the plan from there. Sessions focus on practical tools and real-life problem solving rather than jargon. Over two decades she has refined ways to guide someone through stressful periods and parenting stresses.

She works together with clients to set clear goals and track progress. June encourages steady steps and honest conversation as the path forward. She offers sessions in English and provides a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

The sign-up process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling once a plan is in place.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

June commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she tailors techniques from CBT or DBT to fit the client's needs and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Sessions can happen by video call or phone, and short check-ins through live chat or text messaging can support practice between meetings. This mix of formats makes it easier to keep steady work on stress, parenting concerns, and emotional skills while managing day-to-day responsibilities.

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.
