About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three decades of counseling experience. She draws on years working in K-12 school settings and teaching graduate-level counseling courses to guide people through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and parenting challenges. Sharon writes and speaks plainly and listens closely when someone brings their concerns into a session.
Her work often focuses on parenting difficult children and teens and on supporting young adults facing questions about identity and relationships.
Background and approach
She also helps middle-age adults who are weighing big life decisions or seeking clearer direction in their career and personal life. Parents who feel overwhelmed by behavior or communication problems can expect practical support and straightforward strategies. Sharon uses client-centered methods to make sure each person feels heard.
She blends cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice their thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy are also part of her toolkit for clarifying values and rewriting unhelpful stories about oneself.
She is comfortable discussing faith when clients want that included, and she lets people set the pace for how much influence spiritual beliefs have in sessions. Over the years she has focused on issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, impulsivity, and ADHD-related struggles. Sharon aims to help people sort through confusion and discover practical steps forward.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, geared toward people who want clear, usable tools to manage emotions and improve relationships.

Approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead to clarify needs and goals. It helps people who want a supportive space to talk through parenting stress, anger, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and managing impulsivity.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple awareness practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can help with anger, stress, and seasonal mood changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, values, and daily life. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit counseling into a busy routine. Video lets people see nonverbal cues, phone calls use less bandwidth, live chat can work for short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people access care in ways that fit their schedules and needs.
