About Shara

Shara Trumbull is a Tennessee-based licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on long-term clinical practice to help clients work through issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, and ADHD, while also addressing related struggles like self-esteem, addictions, and career transitions. Her LCSW credential signals advanced training in clinical social work and years of supervised practice.

Her style blends compassionate listening with practical guidance rooted in client-centered principles. That approach emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and helping them build insight, stronger communication skills, and coping tools.

Shara also uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns influence present difficulties and to foster healthier connections. Therapy with Shara focuses on collaboration and gradual change, attending to emotional, relational, and sometimes spiritual dimensions of wellness.

She works with adults in Tennessee and offers a variety of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches Delivered Online

Shara uses client-centered therapy, which centers on empathic listening and honoring each person's experience so they can explore feelings and make choices aligned with their values. This approach is helpful for clients seeking a respectful, non-directive space to process stress, depression, anxiety, or life transitions.

She also integrates attachment-based therapy, which examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. That lens can be useful for people working on intimacy-related issues, family dynamics, communication problems, or longstanding patterns of worry and avoidance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Shara works with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies over time so the work aligns with needs and progress. She emphasizes partnership and clarity about treatment priorities.

Online therapy with Shara is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing seasons of life and allow clients in Tennessee to access licensed professional support without commuting.
