More about Sharon
- 10 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I have been a school counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience working in clinical practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief and loss, parenting challenges, career concerns, and suicidal ideation. I have also supported many individuals who have experienced trauma, emotional abuse, and other difficult life experiences.
I am authentic, warm, engaging, open, and compassionate. I use a creative, eclectic approach to counseling that is tailored to each client's unique needs and circumstances. I believe in being present, attentive, and an active listener while treating every individual with dignity, compassion, and respect.
My therapeutic approach incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), along with a realistic, solution-focused approach that addresses the here and now. I strive to provide clear communication and develop individualized treatment plans designed to address your specific needs, goals, and areas for growth.
I applaud your courage in seeking a more fulfilling and meaningful life and recognize the effort it takes to move forward toward positive change. I am here to support and guide you as you develop greater self-awareness, build confidence, strengthen coping skills, and work toward empowerment and personal growth.
I look forward to being there for you and supporting you throughout your journey toward healing and positive change.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
