About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in Tennessee. She focuses on practical help for people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Her background includes long work with grief, relationship concerns, and challenges connected to trauma and addiction.
She uses a faith-informed lens when clients want that perspective, and she aims to meet each person where they are. Sessions emphasize clearer communication, better self-understanding, and steps you can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is supportive and direct, without jargon. Shara helps people work through family and parenting strains, caregiver stress, and issues tied to family of origin. She also addresses intimacy-related problems, codependency, and challenges like ADHD that affect daily functioning.
Practical coping strategies are paired with attention to attachment patterns that shape relationships. Her approach is rooted in Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, applied in plain language during sessions. That means looking at how relationships affected you, while keeping the conversation focused on your goals.
She encourages skills you can use at home, at work, and in relationships. Shara welcomes conversations about career stress, compassion fatigue, fertility and fatherhood concerns, and health-related worries such as cancer caregiving. She explains options clearly and helps people prioritize what matters most.
The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Attachment and Client-Centered Approaches Online
Shara uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current behavior and emotional responses. This approach helps when trust, closeness, or recurring relationship patterns are causing stress or conflict, and it focuses on understanding how those patterns show up now.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person seeking help. That means sessions are guided by the client's concerns and pace, with the therapist offering empathy, reflection, and support while clients decide goals and next steps.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Shara will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust the focus as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls let people see and respond to nonverbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a work break, live chat is good for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and different routines.
