Background and approach

Sharon helps people name patterns that get in the way and tries out new behaviors in simple, realistic ways. Sharon often draws on client-centered work to make sure each person's goals shape the process. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness tools to handle intense emotions in the moment.

Solution-focused strategies are used to build on what’s already working and move toward quick, achievable change. Many people come for help with parenting stress, family conflict, self-esteem, and coping with life transitions. She also supports clients dealing with trauma, addiction, anger, bipolar mood shifts, and issues around impulsivity.

Sharon addresses topics like body image, codependency, commitment worries, and alternative sex culture without judgment. Sessions are practical and direct, with an emphasis on small steps that fit a person’s life. Sharon works to create a calm, respectful space where clients can try new ways of thinking and behaving.

Progress is tracked together so goals stay relevant and achievable.

Approaches and Online Therapy that Fit Your Life

Sharon uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful relationship where the client’s goals guide each session. It helps when someone needs support to sort their own values, feelings, and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and offers concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will ask about your goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you’ll try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is good for deeper conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be used for quick updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and life changes.
