Background and approach
She uses a mix of methods that fit each person. That can include client-centered listening, goal-focused cognitive behavioral work, EMDR for trauma, and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing is an option when people want help finding the drive to change habits or make decisions.
Sharon draws on ten years of social work experience in advocacy, case management, and therapy. Her background includes work with families and children in various roles, which shaped how she supports parents and caregivers. Clients can expect a nonjudgmental, compassionate presence and clear guidance toward workable strategies.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgment; it helps people feel heard and lets them set the pace and goals for their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, helps people process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to reduce distress over past events.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences, and preferences, and then recommend methods that fit those needs. That collaborative plan can change over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make it easier to keep a steady schedule. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options let people fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving routines, or days when being on camera feels difficult.
