Sharron Lewis , LCSW

Sharron Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Washington in Seattle in 2001 and began her clinical career working in inpatient psychiatry at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Seattle for two years before returning to Louisiana to be near family.

Since 2003 she has built experience across child welfare, community mental health, and private hospital settings. For the past 13 years she has served as the Clinical Director of an Intensive Outpatient Program, where she provided both group and individual psychotherapy and supported complex treatment planning.

Her therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and self-compassion practices. She places emphasis on body-mind based methods that bring attention to body awareness as a way to support changes in thinking and emotional regulation.

Clients tend to describe her as safe and warm. She collaborates with people to clarify therapy goals and to develop individualized plans of care. Her professional commitment is to support growth and healing, and she is motivated to accompany individuals through the often challenging first steps of counseling.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharron Lewis draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life. ACT combines acceptance strategies and mindfulness with behavioral change techniques to address persistent patterns like anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and stress-related concerns.

Dialetical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills inform her work with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-based tools can be especially helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Sharron works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor a treatment plan that fits their life and circumstances.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These formats allow therapists and licensed professionals to meet people where they are, support consistent progress, and adapt sessions to individual routines and access needs.
