About Shara
Shara Biggs is an LPC working in Tennessee who focuses on practical, person-centered therapy. She offers straightforward support for people dealing with addictions, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her approach is warm and respectful, aimed at helping people find workable next steps.
Shara uses a mix of approaches chosen with the client's needs in mind. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early connections affect current relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered techniques also appear in sessions when useful.
She brings four years of licensed practice as a Tennessee LPC and frames treatment around what each person needs now. Sessions typically focus on clear goals, skill-building, and honest conversation about challenges like grief, stress, parenting strain, or chronic health concerns. The tone is direct but compassionate.
Shara also supports people managing ADHD symptoms, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, and eating or sleeping problems. She helps with decision points such as divorce or career changes and with the fallout from trauma, including dissociation and attachment wounds.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. Shara emphasizes collaboration so therapy feels relevant and manageable from the first visit.

How her approaches guide online therapy
Shara commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when helping people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values, which can help with issues like anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The process starts with listening, setting manageable goals, and choosing skills to practice between sessions.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that working remotely helps them keep continuity during life transitions and follow through on homework between meetings.
