Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sharon Carroll integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet relationships and life transition needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds shape current patterns of relating and helps clients address fears of abandonment, improve security in relationships and repair connection. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and priorities to help people clarify values and goals and build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress and to develop practical coping strategies.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time so therapy remains responsive and effective for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, family or caregiving responsibilities and to continue therapy during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and tailor session styles - brief check-ins by message, longer video sessions, or phone conversations - to support progress in a way that fits each client's life.
