About Sharie
Sharie Gilner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She centers sessions on each person's strengths and choices. Sharie aims to make starting therapy feel like a manageable step rather than a daunting leap.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice what’s getting in the way and try small changes that add up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach when patterns of thinking and behavior are involved.
Background and approach
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on each person’s goals and values. For experiences tied to abuse, loss, or painful memories, she will use trauma-focused techniques to help reduce the impact of those events on daily life. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding or keeping the drive to make changes.
These approaches are explained plainly so people know what to expect. Sharie has six years of experience working with common and complex mood concerns. She helps people work through issues like social anxiety, postpartum depression, body image struggles, and trouble with communication.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what the person is ready to try. Her practice offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs. Conversations are aimed at building practical skills, managing symptoms, and increasing self-compassion over time.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Sharie commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the person. That approach emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the person’s pace to set goals and try changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice new skills that reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharie will discuss options and adapt methods based on the person's needs, goals, and preferences. She encourages a collaborative process so the plan fits the person's life and what they feel ready to try.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or those who want shorter, more frequent interactions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
