Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques help people change thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety, depression, or anger. Mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing support people who want to reduce substance use or stay motivated during change. Sharon draws on solution-focused work to break big problems into short, doable steps.
She also brings trauma-informed approaches when past events are still influencing daily life. Sessions often mix skill practice, clear feedback, and planning for what to try between meetings. Her approach is strength-based and down-to-earth.
She aims to help people recognize what already works, then add skills to increase coping and emotional control. Clients can expect straightforward guidance, empathetic listening, and practical homework when it fits their goals. Sharon offers multiple online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
She works in English and is licensed in North Carolina and Virginia, with a long background in mental health and substance abuse treatment.

How Sharon blends approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals together. In this approach the therapist reflects your concerns and helps you find your own solutions, which is useful for relationship worries, self-esteem, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with stress by practicing new ways of thinking and acting.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment and teaches simple exercises to reduce reactivity. It can help with emotional control, stress, and recurring negative thinking.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust those choices as progress is made.
Online sessions make regular work easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let the therapist and client connect face to face; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be a short check-in option or a way to get coaching between meetings. These formats offer flexibility so people can keep momentum while managing busy schedules.
