About Sharon
Sharon Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings ten years of social work experience to her practice. She meets people where they are and moves at a pace that feels manageable. Sharon focuses on anxiety, stress, and related concerns while keeping sessions straightforward and practical.
She uses a warm, nonjudgmental style so people can talk about what worries them. Sharon listens first, then helps set small, doable goals.
Background and approach
She aims to build trust and make sessions feel less overwhelming. Sharon combines several approaches to fit each person's needs. She draws on client-centered work to follow a person’s lead, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, and EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are woven in to help with focus and motivation. In session she breaks concerns into concrete steps. For example, she might help someone map daily routines to improve sleep or practice short skills to reduce panic.
Sharon supports parents managing stress and people coping with grief, career changes, or long-term conditions like bipolar disorder. She also addresses relationship strain and intimacy-related worries. Sharon works with adults and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
She practices in North Carolina and provides services in English. Her credentials include LCSW and CSW, and she draws on a decade of hands-on social work experience.
Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it can help with anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the person's lead. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals based on what matters most to them. When trauma memories are central, Sharon may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process distressing experiences in a paced way.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will talk through options and try methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts plans as progress is made and invites feedback so sessions stay useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life and keep momentum between appointments.
