About Sharon
Dr. Sharon Hansen helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She speaks plainly and listens carefully.
She aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone worried about change or feeling stuck. Sharon is a licensed professional counselor, LPC, in Wisconsin and has six years of work as a mental health therapist. She also brings nearly 30 years of experience as a school counselor, which shaped her practical approach to everyday problems.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on what matters most to each person. She tailors conversations and plans to fit individual goals, whether that means addressing panic attacks, coping with life changes, or working through relationship strain. She pays attention to family of origin issues and questions about life purpose when those concerns come up.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She uses methods that help people change unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, work through trauma, and set clear, achievable steps toward their goals. She balances moment-to-moment support with tools people can use between sessions.
People who reach out can expect collaboration on goals and a focus on practical next steps. Sharon frames therapy as a process that takes courage, and she positions herself as a steady partner during that work.
Online approaches that fit your life
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s goals and experience first; conversations focus on what matters most and on building a trusting working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical steps to change thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, panic, and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using CBT techniques one week and focusing on supportive client-centered dialogue the next.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and have fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, written reflections, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and try tools between sessions.
