About Sharon

Sharon Carroll, LPC, LPCC helps people who feel stuck, unseen, or like a part of themselves is missing. She listens for what matters most and supports clients as they rebuild confidence and clearer relationships. Sharon writes in plain terms and focuses on real change people can notice in daily life.

Sharon uses approaches that match each person's needs rather than one fixed method. Sessions often include exploring attachment patterns, improving communication, and practicing new ways to handle stress and strong emotions. She draws on tools from cognitive behavior work and emotionally-focused methods to help people shift unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with others.

Her background blends clinical training with business and coaching experience. Sharon holds a Master of Arts in Psychology and also has graduate study in business. She has worked with individuals and couples across a wide range of concerns including grief, life transitions, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.

Clients meet Sharon to address relationship struggles, family of origin issues, abandonment wounds, and the fallout of trauma or loss. She also supports people dealing with career changes, aging concerns, and difficulties with control or codependency. Sessions emphasize practical steps alongside emotional understanding.

Sharon adapts therapy to each person’s pace and goals. She partners with clients to set clear objectives, try different strategies, and track progress. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on helping people build the resilience to face future challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Sharon commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and change repeating cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Sharon talks with each person about their goals, what feels useful, and what they are willing to try. Together they adjust techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or visuals are not needed, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging is helpful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines while still working through relationship, grief, and life transition issues.
