Sharon NunezLCSW

Sharon Nunez is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people through major life changes. She practices in New York and focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Her work often addresses issues people face around family dynamics and fertility worries as well.

Sharon listens first and helps people name what feels overwhelming. She offers straightforward ways to cope with heavy days and to manage the small, draining habits that add up. Conversations center on practical steps, clearer communication, and setting reachable goals.

Background and approach: Sharon draws on long experience guiding clients through midlife transitions, caregiver strain, and chronic health challenges. She helps people who feel isolated, who are rethinking life purpose, or who carry family-of-origin wounds. Sessions often include talking through feelings about abandonment, grief, and relationship shifts.

Her practice pays attention to body image, intellectual and developmental differences such as autism, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or illness. Sharon also supports people coping with divorce, separation, and the stresses of parenting without assuming a single path to healing.

She aims to create an affirming space that respects cultural background and personal values. People can expect a collaborative tone where therapist and client work together to pick practical tools that fit daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at practical change and clearer understanding. One common approach focuses on teaching coping skills for stress and anxiety - people learn breathing and grounding tools, activity planning, and ways to break down overwhelming tasks so days feel more manageable. Another approach centers on communication and relationship patterns, helping people notice repeated interactions, try new responses, and repair strained connections over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest techniques to try. The plan can change as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats Sharon currently offers before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, shorten commute time, and maintain more consistent appointments. Online work can allow brief check-ins on a hectic day, longer focused sessions when needed, and the chance to practice communication skills between meetings without rearranging a full day.
