How Sharon’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them. It focuses on what matters most and taking small values-driven steps toward those goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce worry, manage mood, and improve sleep. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, with a nonjudgmental listener who helps clarify priorities and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon collaborates with each person to try methods that fit their needs and goals. She will check in regularly and adjust strategies so the sessions stay useful and realistic for day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video helps with face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or ongoing reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
