How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions let Sharon follow that pace, giving space for people to speak and reflect while she mirrors what they need. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change them; it works well online for tackling anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication, with clear exercises people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will review your goals and preferences and suggest what fits best. She often combines approaches so each plan matches the person’s needs, and she checks in regularly to adjust the focus as progress unfolds.
Online formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions and to get short, timely support or homework guidance. These options help people keep momentum and use therapy in ways that suit their routines.
