Sharon Francis

Hi my name is Sharon Francis and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Orleans, LA. My approach is client centered and I use evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Behavior Modification, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to empower my clients to make healthy changes in their lives that break harmful patterns. I have experience with depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, domestic violence, trauma which includes physical, emotional, and sexual, and personality disorders. I would be happy support you in your journey to improve your quality of life.

In addition to the treatment modalities above I focus on the things that are most important to the client. I also assist them in creating goals and then provide encouragement and verbal affirmations to support the positive progress.

During the first session I like for the client to introduce themself and tell me why they want counseling. Then we can begin to discuss possible goals.
