Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, life changes, and motivation challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve functioning; it can be effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own solutions, which is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and coping with grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. As a licensed professional, Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which methods and techniques best match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical for the individual.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility by allowing work to continue via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
