Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support and Healing
Sharon commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core approaches in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of exploration; it is helpful for issues related to self-esteem, relationship concerns and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.She also integrates Trauma-Focused methods when working with histories of abuse or significant distress, using targeted techniques to help process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Sharon collaborates with each person to tailor the work according to their needs, goals and preferences so that therapy feels responsive and relevant.
Online therapy with Sharon is designed to be flexible and accessible. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend regularly despite life demands, and access support from different locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
