About Sharon
Sharon Klinger is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety and helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and anger. Her approach is practical and respectful, aimed at helping clients take manageable steps toward feeling better.
Sharon listens without judgment and works with each person to shape conversations and goals that fit their life.
Background and approach
She adapts her plan to individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Small changes and clearer communication are common early goals in her work. Over two decades of practice have given her experience with a wide range of concerns, including panic attacks, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, caregiver stress, and chronic pain or illness.
She also supports people dealing with body image, isolation, control issues, impulsivity, and life transitions such as divorce or midlife shifts. Sessions focus on practical skills, improved coping, and clearer thinking about next steps. Sharon helps clients learn ways to manage intense emotions and reduce overwhelming thoughts.
She also works on communication habits that can ease tension in close relationships. Sharon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is offered using a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Sharon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage anxiety and strong emotions. One common approach she draws on teaches practical coping skills for stress and panic such as grounding, breathing strategies, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These tools are useful for people who want to reduce panic attacks and interrupt intense worry.Another frequent method emphasizes emotion regulation and cognitive work. This involves noticing unhelpful thought patterns, testing them, and practicing alternative ways of thinking and reacting. It can help with mood swings, anger, and repetitive negative thoughts that get in the way of daily life.
Choosing the right methods is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to figure out which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people have fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a hands-free option fits a busy schedule. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, and tools between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel demands while staying connected with a licensed professional.
