About Sharon

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people face stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and problems tied to mood and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and money and financial issues. Her style blends practical tools with clear expectations so people can make steady progress.

She has more than 30 years of experience in mental health practice and has worked in a range of roles before counseling, including school administration and law enforcement. That background shapes how she listens and how she helps people set realistic goals. Sharon uses straightforward language and focuses on steps people can take between sessions.

Sharon draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, mindfulness methods to build present-moment awareness, and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that began earlier in life. Solution-focused work helps people identify immediate goals and small changes that add up.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and personal responsibility. Sharon aims to help people understand their patterns, try new coping strategies, and measure progress over time. She encourages practical actions that fit each person’s daily life.

People who want to start complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The process is meant to find a good fit and begin work on the problems that feel most urgent.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person without judgment. In practice this means the therapist mirrors concerns, checks understanding, and follows the person's lead to set goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will meet the person where they are and discuss which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape treatment plans and the specific techniques used in sessions.

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 week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals can guide how to use these sessions for skill practice, problem solving, and planning next steps so progress continues between meetings.
