Her style is warm and interactive. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on building skills that fit their life.
Background and approach
Sharon uses straightforward techniques to manage anxiety, mood swings, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors. Sharon blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral approaches and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and draws on Jungian ideas when those approaches help make sense of a person's story.
This mix is used to tailor care to each person rather than follow a fixed formula. Many people seeking help for trauma, grief, or long-standing relationship and attachment issues find value in her practical, skills-based focus. Sharon pays attention to patterns such as codependency, abandonment concerns, and issues tied to chronic illness or caregiving stress.
She holds a Missouri Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, and also has Wyoming LCSW registration. Sharon offers sessions in English and accepts international clients by online formats. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to scheduling options.
How Sharon's Methods Work Online
Client-centered therapy starts by listening and following the person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and builds a working plan based on what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete tools for anxiety, mood, and sleep problems. Dialectical behavior therapy adds practical skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behavior, and improving relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Together they adjust techniques over time so the sessions match what is actually helping.
Online therapy with Sharon uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, quick live chat can be used for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent and goal-focused.
