How Sharon Uses Therapy Approaches Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and emotions without being controlled by them, then take steps that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, life transitions, and building motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying different behaviors to change mood and outcomes. It often helps with depression, panic, and behavior change such as reducing substance use. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness; it can be helpful for anger, strong reactions, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss options and adjust methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most helpful. She aims to build a plan together and change course if something isn’t working for the person. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or be used when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping focus on practical tools and progress.
