Person-centered and evidence-informed approaches for online care

Sharon uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people who need support clarifying values, improving relationships, and feeling heard while they work toward personal goals.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact. CBT offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, unhelpful thinking patterns, and everyday stressors through skill-building and gradual changes.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated when helpful, teaching simple awareness and grounding practices that can reduce rumination and increase present-moment coping for stress and emotional overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sharon works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on progress.

Online therapy with Sharon is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit work, family and daily commitments. These options make it easier to access ongoing support from licensed professionals without lengthy travel, allowing continuity of care in a format that suits each person.
