About Sharon
Sharon Roberts-Carter is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years in mental health and substance use work. She helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. Sharon aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through feelings and practical problems.
She takes a client-centered approach and draws on several methods to meet each person's needs. Sessions focus on strengths, realistic problem solving, and building everyday coping skills.
Background and approach
Sharon uses plain language and specific tools so clients can apply what they learn between visits. Her work mixes cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That combination supports changes in thought patterns, increases present-moment awareness, and boosts motivation for healthier choices.
Solution-focused ideas are added when a short-term goal or clear action steps are helpful. Sharon has long experience in both mental health and substance use treatment, and she uses that background to support people through life changes, parenting stress, career shifts, and trauma recovery. She pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and blended family challenges when those issues come up.
Sessions are offered in English and are available via several online formats. Sharon emphasizes practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. She invites people who are ready for change to begin a collaborative process toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in real life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention to the present moment and simple awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress.She also brings a client-centered attitude to sessions, which means she listens first and tailors techniques to each person's goals. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for more in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, homework support, or clients who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work on skills between sessions.
