About Sharon

Sharon Woodard is a licensed mental health counselor who draws on 15 years of clinical experience to provide compassionate, client-focused care.

Background and approach

She uses a combination of client-centered principles and evidence-based techniques to help people manage depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and related concerns such as ADHD, self-esteem, and workplace stress. Sharon emphasizes building self-compassion and practical coping strategies so clients can navigate life transitions and regain a sense of purpose.

Her practice centers on a respectful therapeutic relationship where clients can safely explore challenging material like post-traumatic stress, mood disorders, shame, and issues tied to intimacy and relationships. Sharon integrates mindfulness practices and skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

She has particular experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and addressing women’s issues while also working with a broad range of emotional and interpersonal difficulties. Sharon holds LMHC and LCMHC credentials and provides care from North Carolina, applying a warm, strengths-oriented stance to foster resilience and sustainable change.

Her goal is to partner with clients to develop realistic, actionable tools that reduce distress and enhance everyday functioning.

Evidence-Based Approaches Delivered Remotely

Sharon integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. Trauma-focused therapy helps process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences by using targeted techniques to address trauma-related symptoms and build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sharon collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their goals and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, mixing client-centered listening with structured skills training so the plan evolves with the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to attend from home or work, accommodate varying schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are impractical. The combination of evidence-based methods and flexible formats aims to make meaningful progress more achievable for people balancing busy lives.
