With 20 years of clinical experience, Sharon blends several therapeutic methods to match each person's needs.

Sessions emphasize skills you can try between meetings and small, achievable steps toward change.
Sharon describes her work as holistic and person-centered. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be changed. She helps people cope with trauma, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and a wide range of emotional concerns.
People in Georgia and those connecting from other places can expect a calm, collaborative approach. She frames goals around daily functioning, relationships, and career or financial stressors when these are present. The therapist encourages clients to be active participants in planning sessions and measuring progress.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping during life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves, which can ease intimacy and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate to choose methods that fit the client's needs. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay focused on what is working for the person.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time that can interfere with work or caregiving. For many people, meeting remotely helps maintain consistent appointments and lets them practice new skills in their daily routines.
