Sharron Lewis, LCSW - Therapist in Louisiana

About Sharron

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addictions, depression, trauma, grief, and parenting challenges. She brings 24 years of experience and a calm, practical approach. Parents and adults looking for straightforward guidance often find her style direct but warm.

She trained at the University of Washington in Seattle and earned a Master of Social Work in 2001. Early in her career she worked in inpatient psychiatry at a Veterans Administration hospital, then returned to Louisiana where she has practiced since 2003.

Background and approach

Her background includes child welfare, community mental health, and hospital settings. For more than a decade she served as Clinical Director of an Intensive Outpatient Program, offering both group and individual therapy. That leadership role shaped her ability to build clear treatment plans and support people through structured programs.

Her day-to-day methods draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with added focus on mindfulness and body-mind awareness. Sessions emphasize identifying practical steps, building awareness of thoughts and feelings, and learning skills to manage overwhelming emotions. In sessions she partners with clients to set clear goals and make a plan that fits each person’s life.

She aims to help people grow, find more balance, and reduce distress. The work is collaborative and focused on small, manageable changes.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward a meaningful life, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It focuses on improving connection and safety in relationships and can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, and family problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying skills-based work one week and mindfulness or attachment-focused conversation the next.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, continue work during transitions, and check in between meetings when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and skills work to these formats so practical tools can be learned and practiced from home.

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.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
