Background and approach
She blends practical strategies that reduce symptoms with deeper work around relationships and meaning. Sessions often include skill building, thoughtful conversation, and planning that fits daily life. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
She is licensed in Georgia as an LCSW and also holds the CSW credential. Sharon has worked in a range of settings over many years and brings that breadth to individual care. She aims to create sessions that feel honest and respectful.
People who work with her describe a steady presence and clear guidance as they manage life changes, trauma, or long-term patterns that cause pain. Sharon emphasizes collaboration and practical steps people can try between appointments. Outside of clinical work she values family, faith, and time outdoors.
She is a parent of a young adult who served in the Air Force and enjoys walking, hiking, music, and the beach. These interests shape a down-to-earth style in therapy.
Approach-driven online therapy that meets daily life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on values and take small committed steps even when feelings are difficult; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to create practical changes, often useful for depression, sleep problems, and managing symptoms of ADHD. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the person’s own goals guide the work and pace.Choosing a method is a team effort. Sharon will work with each person to figure out which approach or combination feels right, based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up day to day. The plan can change as progress is made or new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit into busy schedules. Video works well for in-depth conversation and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or short coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other demands.
