About Sharon
Sharon Blanchard is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 30 years of experience. She uses a straightforward, listening-first approach to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. Sharon combines client-centered listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice calming skills that fit daily life. Sessions are conversational and focused on real steps people can try between meetings.
How Sharon works
Her background includes counseling in K-12 school settings and teaching counseling at the graduate level. That work shaped her skill in supporting parents of challenging children and young adults figuring out identity and early career choices. She also has experience helping people through grief, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, and midlife transitions.
Sharon welcomes discussion of faith when clients want that to be part of the work, and she adapts to each person's goals and preferences. She pays attention to communication problems, control issues, and impulsivity while helping people rebuild self-esteem and purpose. Clients who choose her can expect a calm, direct counselor who listens closely and offers practical strategies.
She supports people navigating divorce and blended family issues, panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, and the stresses of parenting and new adult life.

How Sharon’s approaches fit online therapy
Sharon uses client-centered therapy to build understanding and trust by listening and reflecting what matters to the client. This approach helps people who need space to tell their story and feel heard before making changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. CBT works well for anxiety, panic, depression, and stress because it focuses on clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Sharon will work with each person to decide which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. She often blends listening-focused work with practical CBT or mindfulness tools as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, mood tracking, or people who prefer typing. These options add flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
