Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sharon Salichs commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client’s own goals and insights guide the pace of change - this approach is helpful for issues related to self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with difficult emotions.

She may also draw on Narrative Therapy techniques to help clients reframe personal stories and find new meanings in their experiences. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Sharon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Sharon is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit care into daily life and to maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible, while allowing therapists and licensed professionals to apply evidence-informed techniques in accessible ways.
