More about Sharlese

  • 18 years' experience
  • Female
  • LMFT

I've been doing therapy for over 10 years, helping various needs. I'm a licensed LMFT that has assisted children, teens and families in learning new skills to manage, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, build confidence, self esteem building, transgender issues, and various other situations. It's a joy to walk help people within their search for healing, insight, and empowerment. Sometimes it is hard to access the inner guide we have due to outside influences, fear, doubt, or from being out of alignment. Asking for help is one of the hardest things you can do, but can be very rewarding. As a therapist, I strive to help you connect to your authentic self in order to help you have more for filling experiences on your life journey. I applaud your courage for taking the first steps towards positive change through therapy. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Gives very practical advice. When we do phone calls, I feel very respected as someone who is queer and POC. I'd recommend Sharlese if you're looking for pragmatic solutions to offset the difficulties of having mental illness.

I really enjoy talking to Sharlese. She is caring, insightful and perceptive. She gets it right away and also is a wonderful sounding board - offering important insights and things to think about. I'm very happy she was the counselor I was paired with.

Reviewed January 2019

Sharlese is extremely helpful in our sessions, she gives a different perspective I most often don’t think about and supports me in a way that helps me grow and learn more about my situation, how to handle it, and also a lot about myself. She also gives me great resources like things to read to help me, meditations, etc that help my current situation. I would definitely recommend Sharlese to anyone looking for a good counselor that takes their time to listen and would like to really push themselves to grow.

Sharlese is extremely understanding and offers me great advice! She helps me look at my situation from a different perspective and approach things calmly. She’s always extremely encouraging, helpful, kind, and understanding. She listens carefully and provides great insight for someone like me who is usually very anxious and impulsive. Just one session with her helped me look at things from a different perspective!

Sharlese is very down to earth. She listens and offers good advice without sounding like she’s telling you what to do. She responds quickly and gives good insight from the outside looking in. I appreciate all of the help she’s given me.

Sharlese Jones is very good at what she does. She has a very strong knowledge base, that she draws upon with ease. Aside from knowing her stuff, she is very polite and professional. She walks the line between professional and personable, and that is not an easy thing to do.
