How Sharon’s approaches translate to online therapy
Sharon often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is practical and can be used to address anxiety, depression, and stress with clear steps to practice between sessions.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. This approach creates space to talk through what matters most and decide next steps at a comfortable pace. Mindfulness Therapy is used to build attention and reduce reactivity, which helps with stress, trauma symptoms, and emotional regulation.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. Sharon works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She may try one approach first and adapt as progress and feedback guide the work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people send updates or reflections between meetings and fit therapy into busy days.
