About Shara
Shara Biggs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related concerns. She aims to offer respectful, compassionate support while working with each person’s real-life needs.
Her approach is practical and down-to-earth. She listens carefully and tailors conversations and plans to the individual. Sessions focus on building skills for daily life, improving mood, and strengthening coping strategies.
Shara uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
That means she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values, and practice small behavior changes that add up over time. She also brings techniques from attachment-focused work to address relationship patterns and emotional safety. Clients come with many concerns, including addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, career stress, and caregiver strain.
She also supports people facing bipolar symptoms, dissociation, and the challenges of chronic illness or disability. ADHD is listed among her focus areas and may be discussed in sessions when relevant. Shara has four years of professional experience as an LPC.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process and helps people set realistic goals. People who choose to work with her generally find a straightforward, empathetic style and plans they can use between sessions.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Shara draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify what matters most to a person and to build small, values-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy informs work on relationship patterns and emotional connection, helping people understand how past relationships shape current responses.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods to try first. Sessions often mix tools from different approaches so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when video bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick support, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
