Sharon Salichs , LMHC

Sharon Salichs is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who uses client-centered care to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and women's issues. She offers Spanish-language support and brings eight years of counseling experience in Florida.

She begins by listening closely to each person's story. That helps her understand what matters most and where small changes can make a difference. Sessions are practical and focused on the client’s goals rather than on jargon or long theory talks.

Sharon blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative techniques. She helps people spot unhelpful thoughts, try different behaviors, and reframe difficult life stories. When needed she also uses solution-focused steps to set clear, doable goals and track progress.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in professional counseling from the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico. Sharon has worked with people experiencing trauma, grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar concerns, and major life changes.

Sessions may involve short practical exercises, talk-based problem solving, and planning for specific next steps. Sharon aims to make therapy easy to follow and relevant to daily life. She meets people where they are and helps them move toward clearer choices and better self-care.

Sharon works with individuals in Florida and provides services in English and Spanish. She focuses on helping people build coping skills, improve communication, and find more meaning after difficult events.

Approaches that guide online care and practical change

Client-centered therapy starts with listening and prioritizing what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the person's pace, reflects their concerns, and helps clarify goals so sessions feel relevant and respectful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT tools, narrative work, or solution-focused steps and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions can happen by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling easier for busy days. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when that matters. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or getting quick support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into daily life.
