Sharon Overfelt , LPC

Sharon Overfelt, LPC, offers grounded, practical therapy for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the impact of trauma. She writes and speaks simply so people can understand what to expect. Sharon aims to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk through hard issues and find clearer next steps.

Sharon draws on mindfulness and body-focused work to help clients notice how thoughts and sensations relate to feelings. She blends these approaches with methods that use sensory elements and movement to help release stuck emotions. Sessions focus on learning simple practices, naming difficult patterns, and making changes that fit everyday life.

Before counseling, Sharon worked in business and information technology. That background shaped her practical problem-solving style and comfort with structured tools. She has seven years of counseling experience and has worked as a primary therapist in an outpatient program for adults in Plano, Texas.

Her work is informed by compassion, curiosity, and nonviolence. Sharon draws on her life as a parent and her own mindfulness practice to relate to the challenges clients bring. She pays attention to attachment wounds, feelings of abandonment, codependency, and issues such as infidelity, divorce, and blended family stress.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Sharon uses mindfulness-based and body-focused methods to help people connect thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Mindfulness work involves short exercises that develop awareness of the present moment and reduce reactivity, which can help with anxiety, stress, and depression. She also uses sensory and movement-informed techniques that invite clients to notice bodily responses and release stuck emotion through guided attention and simple somatic exercises.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon discusses options with each person and adjusts techniques based on their needs, goals, and comfort. She aims to help clients experiment with practices, review what works, and adapt the plan together over time.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for this kind of work. Video calls let Sharon and the client practice mindfulness exercises together and observe body cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These formats give flexibility while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
