How her approaches translate to online care

Sharon commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns of connection affect current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and following the client’s priorities so goals emerge from what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with practical, testable strategies for feeling and functioning better.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sharon will discuss these methods with each person and decide collaboratively which fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the balance of approaches as progress and new issues emerge.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins around work, and making attendance easier during transitions. Talk with Sharon about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to structure sessions to meet your goals.
