About Sharon
Sharon Pluck is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 15 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem. Sharon also addresses parenting challenges, career stress, compassion fatigue, and gender dysphoria.
Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their life while offering practical tools and clear feedback. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect what matters most to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into steps that can be changed. Mindfulness techniques offer simple ways to manage moment-to-moment distress.
Sharon often brings motivational interviewing into sessions when people are wrestling with change, especially around substance use and behavior shifts. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to identify small, achievable goals and build on what already works.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. Conversations focus on real situations from daily life - work, parenting, relationships, and stressors that get in the way. Sharon works to make each session practical and applicable between meetings.
She practices in New Jersey as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
BHow sessions work
How Sharon Uses Practical Approaches in Online Sessions
Sharon draws on Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize the client’s perspective and what matters most to them. That means listening closely, reflecting concerns back, and shaping goals from the client’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to practice concrete steps that change how a problem plays out in daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss options and try methods that fit the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, and other daily demands. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or sessions without video when that better suits a person’s needs.
