About Sharon

Sharon Nunez is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenging life changes. Sharon aims to create a calm, respectful space where someone can talk through their concerns and find practical next steps.

Her work often addresses family and parenting topics alongside personal struggles like grief, isolation, and life purpose. She also brings attention to issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and changes related to aging.

Background and approach

Sharon listens for patterns in relationships and daily life that make things harder and helps people try alternative ways of coping. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients learn new skills for managing symptoms and improving communication.

She balances practical steps with attention to feelings so people leave with both tools and understanding. Sharon’s long experience includes supporting concerns around body image, fertility challenges, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues. She also works with people affected by intellectual disability and autism spectrum considerations when those topics come up in therapy.

Her background informs a flexible approach rather than a single method. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.

To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide online work. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, activity planning, and step-by-step problem solving. These techniques help when worry, sleeplessness, or everyday overwhelm make it hard to get through the day.

Another strand of her work concentrates on improving communication and relationship patterns. This involves noticing repeated interactions, practicing new ways to speak and listen, and setting realistic boundaries. That approach can be useful for family and parenting concerns or when connection feels strained.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sharon collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than sticking to one method. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress or new issues arise.

The online format offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can fit therapy into busy days or manage care from home. These options make it simpler to keep consistent work going even when life gets complicated.
