About Sharon
Sharon McNeil, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey, has 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people with self-esteem, stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, depression, parenting questions, anger, grief, life changes, and ADHD using client-centered, cognitive behavioral, and solution-focused approaches.
Sharon uses straightforward, interactive sessions. She focuses on what is practical and doable. Sessions aim to identify patterns, try new ways of thinking, and set small, concrete goals. Her client-centered stance means the person’s perspective guides what happens in session.
She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals, and Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client’s priorities. That mix allows for focused problem solving alongside deeper self-reflection.
Her practice includes support for people affected by autism and Asperger syndrome, intellectual disability, caregiver stress, veteran and armed forces issues, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, workplace issues, seasonal affective disorder, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose exploration. She also addresses communication problems and family problems from an individual perspective.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Sharon uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

How Sharon Uses Client-Centered, CBT, and Solution-Focused Work Online
Sharon describes Client-Centered Therapy as following the person’s lead and making space for their concerns, priorities, and pace. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and wants guidance built around their own perspective.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and trying practical changes. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress where changing thinking patterns and habits can reduce symptoms.
Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on short-term goals and small steps that move a person forward quickly. It is often used when people want concrete strategies and measurable progress within a few sessions.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with the client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Confirm the current session options before booking. The main practical benefit of online work is fitting therapy into everyday life. Online sessions can reduce travel time, make it easier to schedule between commitments, and allow a quicker check-in when needed. They also let people choose simpler setups such as audio-only sessions when bandwidth is limited or shorter sessions for brief problem-focused work.
