June Sharkey, LCSW

June Sharkey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Nevada with 20 years of experience. She focuses on clear, practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. June aims to make the first steps feel manageable and supportive.

She uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on concrete skills and small changes that add up over time. June adapts tools and strategies to match each person's goals and daily life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common part of her work. She looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and helps people try different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are also used to build emotion regulation and coping strategies when needed.

June emphasizes respect and sensitivity in every meeting. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works in a person's life. Her approach is collaborative - she and the person set goals and check progress together.

Many people come wanting clearer routines, less overwhelm, or better ways to handle stressful moments. June offers practical steps, coaching between sessions when helpful, and ongoing adjustments to keep therapy useful. If someone is nervous about starting, she acknowledges that and works to make the process easier.

Online therapy with practical CBT and DBT tools

June commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving, which can reduce anxiety and depression by changing daily patterns. DBT teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for people who struggle with intense reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before to decide which strategies to try first. Sessions often combine skill practice, feedback, and short assignments to see what fits best for each person.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared materials, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief coaching or follow-up between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles while keeping the focus on practical skill-building.
