About Shara

Shara Biggs is an LPC who integrates evidence-based therapies to help people navigate complex emotional and behavioral concerns. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and DBT skills to build practical coping strategies while honoring each client's values and personal goals.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a collaborative stance when shaping treatment plans. Shara has four years of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns including addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and challenges like compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.

She also addresses areas such as attachment issues, eating and sleeping problems, chronic pain and illness, and life transitions. Sessions are tailored to the individual, with an emphasis on developing motivation, strengthening self-esteem, and improving communication and emotion regulation.

Located in Tennessee, Shara offers multiple session formats to fit different needs, and she supports clients through a process that balances practical skill-building with compassionate listening. She frames therapy as a partnership and aims to help clients take meaningful steps toward a more satisfying life.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning practical ways to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action. This approach can help with depression, anxiety, motivation, and life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by teaching skills for identifying thoughts, testing them, and practicing alternative responses. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to assess needs, try techniques, and adjust plans based on progress and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Online sessions through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and allow work on skills and values from wherever the client is located within Tennessee. These formats can make it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into daily life and support consistent practice between appointments.
