She also draws on client-centered methods to keep the work focused on the person’s goals and experience.
That means sessions are guided by what the client wants to address each week. Her experience covers many concerns, including family stress, addiction, parenting strain, eating issues, intimacy questions, and work-related burnout. She also supports people coping with major life changes like divorce, caregiving demands, or cancer-related stress.

Attachment and Client-Centered Care Online
Shara uses attachment-based ideas to help clients see how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with codependency, control issues, intimacy struggles, or trouble trusting others. She also uses client-centered methods that keep sessions focused on what the person wants to work on today, letting the client set the pace and priorities.Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Shara collaborates with each person to decide which approach fits their goals and situation. Together they review progress and adjust focus so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps when someone prefers written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy days while keeping the work focused and practical.
