About Sharon

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes by pointing toward meaningful steps forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through short practical exercises and skill building, which can reduce worry and improve mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeating patterns in close relationships and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding to others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That can mean trying a few tools and adjusting as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use skills learned in session more quickly in daily life. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting at a distance.
