Background and approach
These methods are used to address problems such as low self-esteem, communication issues, and substance use. In sessions Sharon listens for what matters most to each person and then builds simple plans to try between meetings. She helps clients spot unhelpful thinking, rehearse new ways of relating, and take manageable steps toward change.
Work can include talking through past hurts and building skills for handling difficult feelings. Her background includes long experience with issues tied to family of origin, attachment concerns, blended family and fatherhood challenges, and aging or geriatric matters. Sharon also works with people coping with domestic violence histories, divorce and separation, and codependency patterns.
Clients who choose Sharon will find a direct but warm style. She partners with people to set goals, try solutions, and adjust the plan when needed. Sessions are practical, focused on steady progress, and respectful of each person’s pace.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice connection needs and try new ways of relating to reduce anxiety and improve relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and low mood going. It teaches practical skills for changing thinking and building new routines that lower anxiety and depressive symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and recommend approaches that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made. Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, shorter sessions, or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties, and busy schedules.Questions people ask
