About Sharhonda
Sharhonda Givens, LPC, brings a client-centered, practical approach to therapy. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, and major life changes. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at small, manageable steps people can use right away.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways to calm the nervous system and stay present during difficult moments.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone needs to strengthen their own reasons for change. Sharhonda works from her experience as a Black woman of faith and aims to create a respectful, welcoming space. She focuses on women’s emotional wellness, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues tied to guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
She also supports people coping with caregiver stress, isolation, and questions of life purpose. Sessions often center on practical tools - communication skills, coping strategies, and steps to rebuild self-love. She encourages small experiments between sessions so progress can be tracked and adjusted.
The goal is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes. Sharhonda has three years of clinical practice as a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma. She offers conversations that are straightforward and grounded in everyday life.
People leave with clearer plans and skills they can practice outside sessions.
How evidence-based approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a supportive relationship. It helps people feel heard and guides them to identify their own goals and solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so practical changes can be tested. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and unhelpful behavior patterns by teaching concrete skills to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals and preferences. That means adjusting pace and tools over time so the plan fits daily life and progress is measurable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are close to in-person sessions and work well for teaching skills that use visual cues. Phone sessions allow a conversation without video when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, ongoing encouragement, and brief exercises between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum when life gets hectic.
