About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on practical, hands-on therapy that helps people manage emotions and move toward healthier patterns. Her work often addresses anger alongside issues like anxiety, depression, and addictions.

Background and approach
Clients who come for help with trauma, grief, or relationship stress will find an emphasis on respectful listening. Shara pays attention to how attachment and communication habits shape current problems. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, or job-related stress.
For those managing mood conditions, bipolar tendencies, or ADHD-related challenges, she blends practical strategies with an understanding of long-term coping. People facing intimacy concerns, body image struggles, or eating and sleeping difficulties can work on specific routines and skills. Getting started is simple: Shara works through an intake and then shapes sessions to match each person's goals and pace.
She offers multiple formats, so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action aligned with those values, even when strong feelings get in the way. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill practice, which works well for mood, anxiety, and anger issues. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps clients rebuild healthier ways of relating and coping.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Sessions are collaborative - techniques are adjusted as progress and challenges emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while using the approaches described above.
