About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. She draws on long work in school settings and graduate teaching to help people manage stress and anxiety.

She listens closely and helps people sort through overwhelming thoughts and feelings. Sharon has worked with children, young adults, and middle-age adults in schools and clinical settings.
Background and approach
Much of her time has centered on anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and career decisions. She focuses on practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier and more in control. Her approach is collaborative and respectful.
She uses client-centered methods to follow a person's lead and build on strengths. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Sharon includes mindfulness and narrative work to help people notice patterns and reframe their stories.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone wants change but feels stuck. She can discuss spiritual or religious concerns as much or as little as a person prefers. People who choose Sharon can expect calm, direct guidance from a counselor who values listening first.
She aims to help clients clarify goals, test new strategies, and build a clearer sense of self. Practical tools and steady support are central to her work.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Sharon often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means the session follows the person's concerns and priorities while the therapist listens and reflects. That approach helps when someone needs a safe place to sort feelings and clarify goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and situations where people want concrete steps to feel better.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Sharon will check in about what feels useful and adjust the mix of listening, skills practice, and story work to match a person's goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversations and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well for brief check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can be handy for short updates, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy schedule. They also let people keep continuity of care if travel or work makes in-person visits difficult. Sharon adapts techniques so progress can happen through the format a person prefers.
