About Nupur
Nupur Sharma is a licensed clinical professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, and depression. She speaks plainly and creates a calm space where clients can say what they need to say. Beginning therapy can feel hard, and she acknowledges that first step as part of the work.
With 16 years of experience, she draws on a blend of practical methods to address daily worries and longer-term concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what’s happening now and on building skills that transfer to real life. Conversations are collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs. Her approach includes tools to manage anxious thoughts, break unhelpful patterns, and increase emotional awareness.
She uses exercises that help people try new behaviors, notice how relationships affect their moods, and shape clearer goals for work and life. Homework and simple skill practice between sessions are common. Nupur pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns influence present reactions.
She also helps people navigate transitions such as career changes, health challenges, and feelings of isolation. The work combines short-term strategies for relief with longer-term changes in thinking and behavior. Clients can expect direct feedback, steady support, and practical steps to try between appointments.
Her style aims to be approachable and down-to-earth while keeping a steady focus on real progress.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences drive every choice. It focuses on values-based action so clients can move toward meaningful goals even when they feel anxious or uncertain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and tailor strategies to match each person’s goals, habits, and comfort with different methods. Clients and therapist decide collaboratively which tools to try first and how to adjust them over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and text messaging can support short updates between sessions. These options aim to make attending sessions easier around work, caregiving, or mobility needs.
