Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sharon Gallagher integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens actively and supports clients in finding their own solutions - it can be helpful for issues rooted in self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related symptoms. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness techniques that help reduce rumination and improve emotional regulation, and it can support coping with trauma, grief, and chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor treatment to what feels most useful to the individual.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and accessible across time zones. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels while still working with a licensed professional.
