About Deborah
Deborah Sharp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and low self-esteem. She writes short, practical plans and talks through steps people can try between sessions. Her style aims to be respectful, sensitive, and direct so clients feel understood and heard.
She draws from several evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. Sessions focus on everyday problems like worry, loss, motivation, and shifts in mood.
Background and approach
Conversations are tailored so goals are clear and progress is measurable. Deborah has five years of clinical experience working with adults who want relief from anxiety, depression, and the effects of past abuse. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps build skills to cope with difficult moments.
She emphasizes small, practical changes that add up over time. In the first meetings she works with people to set concrete goals and pick techniques that fit their routine. That might include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing mindfulness, or learning new ways to tolerate strong emotions.
She adapts the pace to match readiness and life demands. Her approach is collaborative. She checks in about what’s working and adjusts plans when needed.
Deborah supports people who want to move past fear, rebuild confidence, and find steadier ways to handle stress and loss.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and encourages actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention skills to calm racing thoughts and manage strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and daily routines to choose techniques that fit. The plan is collaborative and flexible, and methods are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats help make care more accessible around work, family, or travel commitments.
