Background and approach
Sessions focus on realistic goals and skills that can be used outside of therapy. Sharkea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and actions to create change. She pairs that with problem-solving for workplace issues, communication difficulties, and building self-esteem.
For people coping with life transitions, she emphasizes clear next steps and manageable tools. She also has experience supporting people who are hearing impaired and those trying to increase self-love and confidence. Sharkea works with career-related stress and the friction that can come from workplace demands.
She helps clients break big problems into practical tasks they can tackle week by week. Her style is straightforward and encouraging. She aims to empower clients so they feel more capable in daily life.
If someone wants to reduce anxiety, rebuild confidence, or navigate a career turn, Sharkea offers steady guidance and skill-based sessions.
How CBT and online sessions can help with anxiety
Sharkea uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT helps people understand how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She applies these approaches to workplace stress, communication problems, and self-esteem work by turning worries into specific behaviors to try. Together the client and therapist decide which tools to use and adjust them over time. Finding the right approach is part of the process and Sharkea collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can work for brief check-ins or on-the-go reflections. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping treatment consistent and goal-focused.
