Shara Trumbull , LCSW

Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Shara aims to support women who are navigating emotional challenges and seeking clearer direction.

Her sessions emphasize listening first and then helping clients name what matters most. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past connections affect present relationships. Conversations often include practical steps for improving communication, setting boundaries, and managing intense emotions.

Shara also brings a faith-informed perspective when clients want that woven into their work. That means faith can be part of conversations about meaning, values, and coping, if the client wishes. The therapist uses a person-centered stance, so sessions move at a client’s pace and focus on their goals.

Typical concerns she addresses include family stress, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, parenting strain, grief, and work-related burnout. She also helps people facing medical or caregiver stress, fertility and fatherhood issues, and struggles with addiction or eating concerns. Sessions aim to combine practical coping skills with deeper understanding.

Shara offers a calm, steady presence and encourages small, achievable changes. She works collaboratively to build plans that fit daily life. Many people come for help sorting priorities, improving relationships, or managing overwhelming feelings.

How attachment and client-centered work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating for issues like trust, intimacy, and communication. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person’s experience and moves at their pace. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients find their own solutions to stress, depression, or life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist starts by hearing your goals and preferences, then together they try methods that match your needs. If one way of working doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so sessions stay useful and relevant to your life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let you see facial cues and practice interactions; phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter updates, or when writing helps you organize thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and medical commitments.
