About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 30 years of experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for adults facing anxiety, depression, parenting stress, ADHD concerns, and life transitions. Sharon speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person.
She draws on client-centered work to create space for people to name their priorities and feel heard. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used when people want clear steps to change thinking and behavior.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are offered when slowing down and noticing patterns can ease stress. Sharon has long experience in K-12 school settings and in teaching graduate counseling courses. That background shaped her skill at explaining ideas simply and helping parents manage the challenges of raising difficult children or teens.
She also supports young adults sorting out identity, work, and relationships. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Sharon helps people sort through what’s overwhelming and identifies small, doable changes.
She will also work with whatever role spirituality plays for a person, at the level the person prefers. Clients often come for help with relationship struggles, anger, grief, impulsivity, or career crossroads. Sharon aims to help people feel more grounded, make clearer choices, and regain a sense of direction in daily life.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values. It’s about creating a respectful space where the person directs the pace and focus, which helps when clients need to explore identity, parenting choices, or life direction.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches clear, step-by-step tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build different habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related impulsivity, and stress management.
Mindfulness therapy trains attention and awareness through simple practices. Learning to notice moment-to-moment experience can reduce reactivity and improve focus for people who feel overwhelmed or disconnected.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies fit the person's life and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and face-to-face connection. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people share between sessions or use brief coaching-style messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
