How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Sharon uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that get in the way and to practice new behaviors that feel better. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors because it focuses on what to change and how to try it out.

She also applies Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice their thoughts and bodily reactions without reacting automatically. Mindfulness can help with anger, grief, impulsivity, and staying steady during life changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to build motivation and clarify personal reasons for change when people feel unsure about next steps.

Choosing the best approach is collaborative. Sharon will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and past experiences and then suggest methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan if needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support quick reflections, brief check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions, offering flexibility around work, caregiving, and travel.
