Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharon draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning. She also works with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to support people processing traumatic memories and reducing the emotional intensity that can follow abuse or significant loss. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and to teach calming practices that support emotion regulation and better sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in treatment.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and use tools and strategies between sessions, all while working with licensed professionals who tailor therapy to individual circumstances.
