About Shara

Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Tennessee with 25 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She focuses on emotional wellness and practical steps people can use to handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. Shara aims to create a respectful, faith-informed environment that honors each person's background and values.

In sessions she concentrates on building self-understanding and clearer communication. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way and try different ways of responding. Her approach tends to blend attention to emotions and attachment with a person-centered style that follows each client's needs.

Shara often works with those facing family-related strains, parenting stress, caregiving burdens, and life transitions. She also addresses issues such as addiction, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem-solving is paired with time to process feelings and past experiences.

Her work includes attention to attachment issues, codependency, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after infidelity or separation. She also supports people coping with cancer or fertility struggles and the emotional effects of caregiving. Many people come to her for help with career stress, control issues, or the loneliness that follows major change.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals, steady skill-building, and respect for each client’s faith when that is part of their life. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How these approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and feel safe with others. It helps when patterns from past relationships make current bonds and communication harder. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the client's pace and priorities, offering empathy and reflection as people sort out what matters most to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, checking in about what helps, and adjusting over time rather than committing to a single method up front.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep therapy going during job changes, caregiving demands, or relocation. Talk with the therapist to clarify how sessions will be scheduled and which formats are available so they fit your daily routine.
