About Sharon
Sharon Forde Marshall is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 23 years of experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and low self-esteem. She aims to make the first step feel doable and supportive for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Sharon listens with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She works with each person to shape conversations and goals that fit their life. That can mean short-term coping tools or longer work on patterns that keep coming up.
Background and approach
Her approach pulls from practical methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness strategies. These tools help people notice thoughts and behaviors, try different actions, and build new habits that ease anxiety and stress. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships.
Client-centered conversation is part of how she creates a steady, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through hard topics. Sharon helps with a wide range of concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, immigration-related stress, impulsivity, infidelity, jealousy, and finding life purpose.
She tailors the plan to each person and works together to adjust it as needs change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice values and take small actions that match those values even when anxiety or fear shows up. It focuses on building willingness to experience difficult thoughts while still moving toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and shifting behavior. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current attachments and communication, helping people understand why certain relationship patterns repeat and what to try differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try, and adjust those choices as progress is made.
Online sessions offer real flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation, phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and to keep continuity of care across locations.
