Sharon Albert , LPC

Sharon Albert is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi with 30 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges. Sharon also supports those coping with trauma, mood disorders such as bipolar, ADHD, and life transitions. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can change. Sharon mixes talk therapy with action steps clients can try between meetings. She balances compassion with an emphasis on personal responsibility. Her background includes clinical work, six years as a school administrator, and ten years in law enforcement. Those roles shaped her direct, clear style and her comfort working with people from many backgrounds. She uses a blend of approaches rather than a single method. In therapy Sharon uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated life patterns. Mindfulness practices and solution-focused strategies are added when they fit the client’s goals. Sessions are tailored to each person. Sharon listens for strengths, then helps set practical goals. She offers concrete coping strategies for panic, mood swings, self-esteem, anger, and relationship communication. The aim is steady progress one step at a time.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead and builds goals from what matters most to the individual; this approach supports concerns like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and life purpose.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood symptoms, and improve coping with panic or impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will collaborate with the client to identify which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That process may combine elements from different approaches and adjust as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
