About Sharon
Sharon Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience. She combines practical strategies with a client-centered style. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and relationship and intimacy challenges.
Sharon draws on several therapy approaches to match each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns. She applies narrative techniques to help people reframe their stories and make sense of painful events.
How Sharon works
Her background includes military service as a Combat Medic and work in the Air Force Reserve, culminating in a career as an active duty Air Force social worker. That experience informs work with first responder concerns and veteran and armed forces issues. She has also worked in academia, school counseling, life coaching, and critical incident debriefing.
Sessions are collaborative and practical. Sharon often suggests small homework tasks and coaching-style check-ins to reinforce progress. She adapts approaches when someone needs faster problem-solving or a deeper exploration of meaning and identity.
Sharon practices from Texas and offers online formats. She accepts English-speaking clients and can work with international clients. Her approach aims to help people regain routines, rebuild relationships, and find clearer direction in life.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps set goals that matter to them, which works well when people need support with stress, grief, or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and address mood symptoms.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful events by reauthoring the stories they tell about their lives. This approach can be useful for trauma, identity questions, and adjusting after major life changes.
Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust over time. That collaborative process helps find the right balance between short-term problem solving and deeper meaning work.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy or changing schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when a camera is not needed, and live chat or text can be a brief check-in or a way to process between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family routines, or shifting time zones.
