About Sharon

Sharon Bowen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, CSW) with a decade of experience in social work and mental health care. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions and aims to meet clients where they are in their healing process.

Background and approach

Sharon emphasizes collaboration and moves at each person's pace, helping people navigate a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood conditions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Her background includes roles as an advocate, case manager, and therapist working with families and children, which informs a practical, supportive style. Sharon draws on client-centered practices alongside evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, EMDR, mindfulness methods, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to individual needs.

She seeks to create an open environment where difficult feelings can be addressed safely and where trust is built through respectful collaboration. Sharon works from North Carolina and offers services in English.

She is experienced in helping clients cope with life changes, sleeping problems, self-esteem and identity questions, and both depression and bipolar mood concerns. Her approach balances empathy with skill-building to help clients pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Sharon combines client-centered work with evidence-based methods to support people via remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and guiding exploration of values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or sleep difficulties. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories through structured, bilateral stimulation and can be helpful for trauma-related distress when incorporated thoughtfully into a treatment plan.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon works collaboratively to determine what fits best for each client. She will help set goals, explain different methods, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences emerge so clients play an active role in shaping their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints. These formats allow for consistent, accessible support while preserving the collaborative and skills-based focus of her in-person work. Licensed professionals can use these tools to maintain continuity of care and adapt interventions to a client's daily life and schedule.
