Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and current relationship patterns shape feelings and behavior. In practice it helps people understand attachment concerns such as abandonment, trust, and connection so they can form more secure and satisfying relationships.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships. EFT is often used with couples and individuals to address relationship distress by helping partners and family members express needs and respond with greater empathy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to shift them. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes, offering tools to manage symptoms and build problem-solving skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon collaborates with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can make working with a therapist more flexible and accessible. These options allow for appointments to fit into busy schedules, support continuity during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to connect so therapy can proceed in the format that feels most helpful.
