About Shara

Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people facing addiction, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and related life stresses. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support as people take steps toward change.

Shara frames therapy as a tailored conversation. She listens first to understand what matters most and then works with each person to shape a plan that fits their goals. Sessions aim to build practical skills for coping, clearer ways to make decisions, and steadier emotional reactions to everyday pressures.

She uses a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centered methods, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those tools help with things like breaking patterns, managing intense emotions, handling relationship struggles, and improving daily functioning after trauma or loss.

Shara draws on four years of clinical experience to guide the process. She emphasizes collaboration and keeps the focus on achievable steps a person can use between sessions. People who want help with grief, parenting strain, anger, career stress, ADHD challenges, or intimacy issues will find relevant experience in her background.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She encourages honesty about goals and setbacks and partners with people to try practical strategies. If someone is ready to start, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy issues, abandonment feelings, and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust strategies as things change over time.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. It also lets people try different exercises or skill practices between meetings, and lets the therapist and client collaborate on steps to manage stress, cravings, or relationship challenges in day-to-day contexts.
