Dr. Sharon Belhamel , LMFT

Dr. Sharon Belhamel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of practice. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, or big life changes. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at making daily life easier to manage.

She uses a mix of therapies to match what each person needs. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns that get in the way, building useful coping skills, and clarifying values that guide choices. She also helps with concerns like grief, addiction, ADHD, intimacy, and work-related stress.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that combines emotional understanding with concrete exercises. Dr. Belhamel leans on approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, attachment-focused ideas, and cognitive strategies to reduce distress. She draws on two decades of experience in Georgia as an LMFT to tailor plans that fit daily routines and goals.

Her practice includes attention to identity and LGBT concerns, body image, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and other overlapping issues that often complicate mental health. She also offers support around abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and blended family dynamics.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People interested in starting complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going, which is often helpful for mood and anxiety concerns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what fits. That collaboration helps shape sessions so they match your needs and preferences over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people have a full conversation and read facial cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when writing helps you process. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
