Jasmine Owarish-Gross, LCSW

Jasmine Owarish-Gross is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey with nine years of experience. She draws on clinical work in both medical and psychiatric inpatient settings and a background in sports medicine to help people make practical changes. Jasmine favors straightforward, strength-focused work that highlights a person’s existing skills.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address a range of concerns. Those include anxiety, depression, grief, stress, sleep problems, and mood disorders. She also helps with addictions, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic attacks, and coping with life changes.

Jasmine puts emphasis on whole-body health and behavior change. That means talking about routines, sleep, movement, and small habits alongside thoughts and feelings. Her sports medicine experience informs practical steps clients can try between sessions.

Her style is direct and supportive. She helps people spot strengths and build on them, while teaching skills to manage intense emotions and reduce distressing patterns. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with concrete tools to practice.

People who reach out can expect a therapist who values clear strategies and steady progress. Jasmine works with teens and adults and aims to create plans that fit everyday life. She invites people who are ready to try structured approaches to reach out and start the process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jasmine uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and intrusive worries. CBT is practical and skill-based, with clear exercises to try between sessions.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify values and take action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT supports people who want to move toward meaningful goals while learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship skills for those who struggle with intense reactions or impulsivity. These skills aim to reduce crises and improve day-to-day coping.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jasmine will listen to your goals, try different strategies, and adjust over time so the work fits your needs and preferences. She works collaboratively to find what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, parenting, or other life demands.
