Therapeutic approaches often used online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed steps toward those values, even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, life changes, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practice and skill building, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon works with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new priorities appear.
