Background and approach

Sessions often focus on coping skills for sleep, attention and mood, and strategies for handling life changes or compassion fatigue. Her approach draws on client-centered care, cognitive behavioral tools, EMDR for trauma work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. She uses these methods flexibly, matching them to a person’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Expect straightforward explanations and hands-on practice between sessions. Sharon has background as an advocate, case manager, and therapist. That experience informs practical help with career worries, family conflict, and parenting stress.

She values trust, respect, and taking the pace that feels right for each person. People meet Sharon for help with relationships, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar and ADHD management, and coping after loss. Her style is nonjudgmental and compassionate, focused on helping clients move forward with clearer choices and better daily routines.

How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and helps people name what matters most, then follows the client’s pace to set goals and next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical skills and small experiments to change unhelpful routines and improve mood and sleep.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is used to reduce the hold of traumatic memories. It combines focused recall with guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation to ease intense reactions over repeated sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work consistently over time.
