She pays attention to how past harm affects current relationships and daily life, and she helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions.
Sharon works with issues such as low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship strain. She also addresses concerns like communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. Her approach includes mindfulness techniques and elements of dialectical behavior work to build emotional regulation and coping skills.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Sharon often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where the person’s goals steer the work. This approach focuses on listening, understanding, and helping people clarify what they want to change.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides practical strategies for reducing anxiety, improving mood, and changing unhelpful behavior patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with each person about their needs and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try and how to pace the work.
Online therapy with Sharon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and real-time skill practice. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is low or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short updates, reflections between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy life while using approaches like client-centered care and CBT that work well in virtual formats.
