About Sharon

Sharon Roberts-Carter is a licensed counselor with 25 years of experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, addiction concerns, ADHD, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, and a wide range of life transitions. She practices from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that emphasizes empathy and practical problem solving.

Background and approach

Sharon integrates cognitive techniques and mindfulness alongside motivational and solution-focused strategies to help clients identify goals and build the skills needed to manage emotions and everyday demands. Working in North Carolina and licensed as both LCMHC and LPC, Sharon draws on extensive experience in mental health and substance use treatment to tailor an approach to each person’s needs.

Her work includes attention to parenting and family concerns, communication and commitment issues, coping with chronic illness, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. She aims to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their priorities, increase insight, and develop realistic, sustainable plans for change.

Sharon encourages collaboration and uses education, behavioral strategies, and reality-focused problem solving so clients strengthen internal resources and move toward personal goals. She welcomes those ready to take practical steps toward healthier patterns and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Access

Sharon frequently blends client-centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so clients can explore values and goals. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that maintain distress, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and stress management skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will work with each person to assess current concerns, preferences, and goals and adjust methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual’s needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations while maintaining ongoing care and continuity. The variety of communication methods makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different modalities to find what works best.
