How Sharon Uses Talk Therapy Online

Sharon uses client-centered work to start by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on respect, empathy, and building a trusting conversation that guides the rest of therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with simple experiments and behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and strengths to move toward concrete goals rather than rehashing past problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She collaborates with each person to try methods that match their needs and adjusts the plan based on progress and preference.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for in-depth work, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
