About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina with 17 years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship struggles. She focuses on practical, day-to-day steps that reduce overwhelm and build stronger coping skills. Her approach respects each person's story and strengths.
She encourages small changes that add up over time. In sessions she listens first and helps people set clear, achievable goals.
Background and approach
She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to break problems into manageable parts. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, trying new behaviors between sessions, or focusing on quick steps that move someone forward. Sharonda keeps language simple and direct.
She explains techniques and practices so they fit into a busy life. Many clients work on communication, self-esteem, or managing strong emotions like anger and grief. She also supports people facing life transitions, addictive behaviors, and mood challenges.
Sessions are collaborative - the client and Sharonda decide what to try next based on what works. She aims to help people feel more capable and more in control of daily stresses. Clients in North Carolina can expect a practical, strengths-based approach that focuses on real problems and clear next steps.
Sharonda welcomes questions about how therapy might help and what to expect in early sessions.

Approaches and online options that meet your needs
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, anger, and patterns that keep causing trouble. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It helps people build on what already works and move quickly toward specific changes.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences, and what has helped before. Together they try methods that fit the person's life and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets sessions fit into work, school, or home routines. Video is good when visual interaction helps; phone works well for lower bandwidth or when hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep consistent momentum and practice skills in real time.
