About Jasmine
Jasmine Owarish-Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Jersey with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem struggles, and life changes. She also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, parenting concerns, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
Jasmine uses practical, skills-based approaches in sessions. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She emphasizes recognizing personal strengths as tools for change.
Her background includes work in inpatient medical and psychiatric settings. She has experience with teens and adults across a range of ages, and a sports medicine background that informs her focus on behavioral change. That experience supports attention to how physical routines and mental health interact.
In sessions she helps people set concrete goals and practice new habits between meetings. This can include work on mood symptoms, obsessive thoughts, panic, eating and body-image concerns, anger, career stress, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also supports people dealing with co-occurring challenges and complex mood disorders.
Practical planning is part of her approach. Clients can expect clear techniques, short homework tasks, and check-ins on progress. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching steps to schedule a first appointment and share their goals.
How CBT, ACT, and DBT inform online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive thoughts by breaking problems into steps and practicing new responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take actions that align with those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can help with grief, life transitions, and motivation when avoidance is getting in the way.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are useful for intense moods, impulsivity, and relationship conflicts.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel practical for the person's situation. Together they will try techniques and adjust what they practice based on what helps.
Confirming session formats before booking is advised, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find phone or video sessions let them attend from quieter surroundings or fit a session into a work break. The therapist will work with each person to pick formats and pacing that match daily life and treatment goals.
