Her long career has included work across many settings and with diverse presenting problems, which informs a flexible, empathetic approach to care.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Therapy

Sharon commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the person’s experience, offering empathy and respect while the client explores goals and values; this approach supports work on self esteem, grief, relationships, and life purpose. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress is made. The focus is on practical steps and compassionate support so clients feel involved in planning their care.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing work to occur via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and let clients choose the communication mode that best suits their routine and comfort level. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work while accommodating everyday life.
