About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of counseling experience. She begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person and then helps them find practical ways forward. Shara uses a faith-informed stance when requested and treats each conversation with calm attention and respect.
Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, navigate depression, and rebuild after trauma or loss.
Background and approach
She also helps clients who face relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, or career transitions. Shara pays attention to how past attachments and family patterns affect present choices. Shara draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape adult relationships.
She also uses a Client-Centered Therapy approach to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective and goals. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills. People come to Shara for help with grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, anger, and life changes such as divorce or caregiving demands.
She also supports those dealing with fertility or cancer-related stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Conversations move at the client’s pace and focus on realistic steps for change. Practical tools are paired with listening and reflection in Shara’s work.
She helps clients set small, achievable goals and notices progress along the way. Appointments can be scheduled to fit different routines and needs.
Attachment and Client-Centered Support Online
Shara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people see how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can be useful for people struggling with trust, communication, or repeating difficult relationship cycles. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which keeps the focus on the client's experience and goals and helps people feel heard while they set their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Plans are adjusted over time so sessions stay relevant and practical rather than fixed to one method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps, phone calls require less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or busy days. These options help people schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress and day-to-day coping.
