How Sharon's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and trust in relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify how early bonds affect current reactions and to build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In video or text sessions Sharon can introduce simple exercises, track progress, and help clients try new coping strategies between meetings.Sharon works collaboratively to find the best approach. She listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques that fit those aims. Together the client and therapist adjust methods as needed so the work is useful and feels right.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for relationship work and emotion-focused exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, homework check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
