Background and approach

She also assists people coping with major life changes, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and work or career pressures. Sharon supports clients who identify as LGBT and those dealing with attachment or abandonment issues. Sharon blends several approaches in sessions depending on a person's needs.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people build a values-based life even when feelings are difficult. Client-centered conversation and emotion-focused techniques guide deeper relational and emotional work.

Sharon trained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later became licensed in Georgia as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker. She keeps the pace of sessions collaborative, calm, and straightforward. Outside of work she enjoys hiking, listening to music, and spending time with her family and pets.

People who choose Sharon can expect a warm, down-to-earth guide who focuses on small changes that add up. She aims to help people feel more able to handle anxiety, get clearer about values, and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going and replacing them with clearer, more helpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, sleep issues, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. She mixes methods as needed and collaborators decide together which tools to use from session to session.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when someone prefers writing. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue even when life is busy.
