Shari brings a steady presence and practical problem solving to sessions, helping clients break big problems into manageable steps.

Approaches that guide online work
Shari uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones, which can reduce worry and low mood. Another approach centers on building specific skills for emotion regulation and stress management so clients can respond differently during upsetting moments.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try strategies together, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Sessions include clear plans and homework when that fits your needs, and progress is reviewed along the way.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
