About Sharon
Sharon Kuhlmann is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Sharon keeps sessions direct and practical so parents and busy adults can fit therapy into their lives.

How Sharon works
This makes it easier to connect feelings, physical sensations, and everyday coping tools. Her style blends listening with teaching. Sessions often involve learning new skills, practicing them between visits, and checking what works.
Sharon helps people build routines for sleep, reduce overwhelm, and recover from grief or compassion fatigue. Sharon has run a independent practice and spent many hours meeting people with relationship worries, parenting strain, and career stress. She uses practical interventions that fit into daily life rather than long theoretical discussions.
The goal is clearer thinking and steadier emotions. Clients can expect a collaborative process where therapist and client set goals together. Sharon offers tools for self-calming, ways to manage ADHD-related challenges, and concrete steps to improve intimacy and communication.
She practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Sharon commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional charge.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sharon will talk with you about your goals, try methods that seem likely to help, and adjust the plan based on what works. She emphasizes practical tools and teaches ways to calm the body and mind so therapy skills can be used between sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and real-time skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to schedule care around parenting, work, and busy days.
