Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a primary approach Sharkea uses - it focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. CBT is often helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges with motivation or self-confidence.
She also emphasizes a strengths-based, collaborative approach that centers the client as the expert of their own life - this involves exploring personal strengths and values to guide practical goals and build resilience. That collaborative stance supports work on self-love, communication, and workplace issues.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sharkea works together with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow flexibility for scheduling and make it possible to engage in therapy from many locations. These options help clients maintain continuity of care, access support around busy schedules, and use modalities that feel most comfortable for them.
