About Sharon
Sharon Garland is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Georgia with 16 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, anger, grief, and coping with major life changes. Sharon aims to create an open space where people can say what they mean and begin making small, steady changes.
Sharon uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through what feels most urgent. She draws on approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with thoughts, behaviors, and values.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical tools for managing strong feelings and calming the body. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sharon listens closely and asks clear questions to pin down what will help most.
She supports clients in setting realistic goals and practicing new responses between sessions. Sharon also integrates mindfulness and client-centered techniques to build self-awareness and resilience. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, experiment with alternatives, and recover from setbacks.
That can be especially useful for those dealing with anger, relationship difficulties, or burnout. People who choose Sharon often want practical skills and steady encouragement. She frames work as a series of manageable steps rather than one big fix.
The focus is on progress that fits daily life and long-term values.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than reacting automatically. It is useful for anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing small changes to reduce distress. It often includes concrete exercises to try between sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person sets the pace and goals while the therapist listens and reflects.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and daily routines. Together they try approaches that fit practical needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and practicing skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a work break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around family, work, and other obligations.
