Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying strengths, setting realistic goals, and practicing new skills. Sharon blends client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral tools and practical problem solving so people can manage day-to-day challenges more effectively. Many clients come with tangled problems like trauma, parenting strain, blended-family issues, or work-related stress.
Sharon draws on mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused ideas to break big issues into manageable steps. She emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes. Her work often includes coaching around career, communication, and coping when chronic illness or caregiver stress is present.
She also supports people facing addiction, forgiveness questions, fertility or fatherhood concerns, and the emotional impacts of adoption and abandonment. Sharon works in North Carolina and holds both the NC LCMHC and VA LPC credentials. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Getting started means completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability. Her style is practical and collaborative. She aims to help people find clarity, build useful habits, and move toward the life they want.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's needs, helping them feel heard while they set their own goals. It is useful for relationship stress, grief, and building confidence in decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting overwhelmed. These practices can help with stress management, emotional regulation, and reducing reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls are close to an in-person session and work well for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions, track small steps, and get shorter boosts of support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
