About Sharon

Sharon Green is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in New Jersey. She brings 17 years of experience in behavioral health and focuses on helping people facing trauma, grief, depression, career changes, and financial stress. Her style is practical and person-centered, with attention to each person’s unique history and needs.

She uses a whole-person perspective that looks at body, mind, and spirit during recovery. Sessions are tailored to what each person prefers and needs. Conversation is direct and grounded, with an emphasis on clear next steps rather than vague goals.

Sharon draws on several approaches to shape treatment. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Attachment-informed work and emotionally-focused techniques guide exploration of relationship patterns and grief reactions.

Mindfulness tools are offered to build moment-to-moment awareness and reduce overwhelm. Motivational interviewing can be used when people want help making changes or finding direction in their career or finances. Sharon’s aim is to meet people where they are and create practical strategies that fit daily life.

People often come for help after loss, trauma, or major life transitions. Sharon helps with longstanding patterns like codependency, commitment worries, and communication problems. She also assists those dealing with addiction, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges. Her approach is steady, collaborative, and focused on usable skills.

Approaches that guide online work

Sharon commonly uses client-centered work that centers the person’s goals and lived experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client. It is useful for people who need a steady, validating space to talk through difficult decisions or feelings.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is another core influence. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behavior changes. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and for people who want concrete tools to change daily habits and reactions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what feels most effective and manageable.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can tailor pacing, homework, and session focus to better match everyday routines and practical needs.
