About Sharon

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with two decades of professional experience offering supportive, practical care for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, ADHD, relationship concerns, and related challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on a holistic lens to help clients explore patterns, build skills, and find clearer direction when facing grief, trauma, career questions, or issues with intimacy and self-esteem. Her background includes extensive work across a broad range of concerns such as addictions, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood issues, and identity-related matters like LGBT and attachment difficulties.

Dr. Belhamel combines evidence-based methods with a collaborative, client-focused stance, blending cognitive and emotionally oriented techniques to match treatment to each person’s needs.

She holds a Georgia LMFT license (GA LMFT MFT000941) and offers services in English, accepting international clients as well as those in Georgia. Clients can expect an approach that emphasizes both present-moment coping and longer-term relational and behavioral change.

Dr. Belhamel integrates therapies aimed at thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal patterns to support improved functioning and greater resilience during life’s transitions.

Approaches that guide online care and growth



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values-driven actions to move forward; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skill changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; it is commonly applied for stress, mood concerns, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational histories and current connection patterns to improve security and interpersonal functioning, which can be helpful for intimacy, attachment issues, and relationship distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Belhamel works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She combines elements from different models as needed and partners with clients to monitor progress and adjust the plan over time.

Online therapy with this practitioner uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility in how people connect. These formats make it easier to schedule regular sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and allow continuing care when in-person visits are impractical. Licensed professionals can adapt evidence-informed techniques across these modes to support skill-building, emotional processing, and practical problem solving.
