About Shara
Shara Trumbull is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience practicing in Tennessee. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and life transitions. Her style blends steady support with practical steps people can use right away.
Shara creates space for people to talk through painful memories and current struggles. She pays attention to how attachment and close relationships shape how people cope. Sessions often focus on improving communication, setting boundaries, and reducing daily overwhelm.
How Shara works
Her work is informed by Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy, which she uses to guide gentle exploration of past wounds and present strengths. Conversations are driven by the client’s goals and pace, not a fixed agenda. She helps people identify the next concrete action to try between sessions.
Shara also addresses issues such as grief, addiction, parenting challenges, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. She supports people facing career shifts, fertility or fatherhood concerns, and health-related stresses like cancer. Her approach is straightforward and empathetic, with attention to both emotion and practical change.
People meet Shara for short-term work or longer-term support depending on their needs. She invites clear conversation about goals and expected outcomes at the start. If someone wants a therapist who listens closely and helps map realistic steps forward, she offers that steady, experienced presence.

Online support options
Attachment and Client-Centered Care Online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice ways they connect, retreat, or react when stressed and aims to build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and follows the client’s lead to help them find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Shara will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on goals, concerns, and personal style. She will check in regularly and adjust the focus as needs change so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a pre-set path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, journaling thoughts, or quick emotional support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
