How Sharon’s Approaches Guide Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life transitions get in the way of what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your needs. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to build skills you can use between sessions and to make steady progress toward your priorities.
