About Sharon
Sharon Cyrus-Savary is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through trauma and abuse, and address mood and self-esteem concerns. Sharon encourages clients to build on their strengths and take practical steps toward feeling better.
She focuses on straightforward, collaborative work in sessions. Conversations often begin with what feels most urgent and practical. Sharon listens for patterns that keep problems alive - like negative self-talk, avoidance, or difficult family interactions - and helps people try small, doable changes.
Background and approach
Her approach respects each person as the expert on their own life. She uses that knowledge to shape goals that fit daily life, not abstract ideals. Sessions typically include goal-setting, problem-solving, and gentle challenges to unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Sharon has worked with a range of common concerns including relationship communication problems, attachment issues, guilt and shame, life purpose, money stress, workplace issues, and women's issues. She also offers support for depression and other mood disorders by focusing on routines, coping strategies, and rebuilding confidence. Practical matters are part of the work.
She helps people create steps they can use between sessions, like new routines or communication habits. Sharon aims for steady progress so clients can notice real change in daily life.
Approaches and online options for practical anxiety care
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing thoughts and behaviors and on building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice more balanced ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and worry. Another approach emphasizes small behavior changes and new routines to lift mood and build confidence, useful for depression and low motivation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to decide which strategies to try first, based on their goals, daily life, and what feels manageable. She reviews progress regularly and adjusts plans so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, day-to-day coping tips, and ongoing contact between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules.
