How Sharon’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's goals and priorities and invites gentle reflection and practical problem solving. It helps when someone wants a therapist who listens first and follows their lead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete skills for reducing anxiety, managing mood, and changing patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, brings skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance. It can be useful for panic attacks, overwhelming anger, and intense relationship stress.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps people find what feels most helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, reduce travel time, and use shorter check-ins on busy days. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, cognitive tools, and DBT skills in between sessions so practice can fit into everyday life.
