About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience practicing in Tennessee. She centers her work on emotional wellbeing and practical problem solving. Shara is approachable and calm in sessions, and she helps people make clear next steps when life feels overwhelming.
Her practice focuses on anxiety and stress alongside depression, trauma, and addiction-related concerns. She helps people untangle relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, career stress, and issues around self-esteem.
Background and approach
Shara also supports those coping with major life changes, chronic caregiving demands, and medical-related stress such as cancer or fertility concerns. Shara draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationships. She also uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals front and center.
In sessions she listens closely, offers reflective feedback, and helps people identify small, workable changes. Over her career she has worked with people facing complicated family history, codependency, infidelity, isolation, and communication breakdowns. She offers a practical focus on building coping skills and clearer communication rather than labels or quick fixes.
Sessions often look like steady conversation, targeted problem-solving, and homework that fits into real life. People who want a relational, thoughtful therapist who balances empathy with direction tend to find her approach helpful.
How attachment and client-centered approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early connections affect trust, boundaries, and reactions to stress. This approach can help with anxiety, relationship struggles, and issues rooted in family history.Client-Centered Therapy keeps the person's experience central. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathic listening, and helps people find their own solutions. It works well for building self-esteem, processing grief, and making life changes at a comfortable pace.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Shara will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and adjust methods over time to match your needs and goals. Together you can decide whether to focus more on attachment patterns, present-focused problem solving, or a mix of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and work more directly, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins, short reflections, or when scheduling constraints make real-time sessions harder. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, and travel schedules without losing continuity of care.
