About Sharonda
Sharonda Patrick is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, mood struggles, relationship tension, and low self-esteem. She encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that asking for help takes real courage.
She works in a straightforward, supportive way and treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions often look at current patterns of thinking and behavior and aim for practical changes people can use right away.
How Sharonda works
She also helps people set clear goals and track progress so small wins add up. Many clients come with relationship or family concerns, grief, or trouble managing life changes. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, postpartum depression, bipolar mood issues, and compassion fatigue.
Her additional focus areas include communication problems, commitment worries, infidelity, and finding life purpose. Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on strengths and what works now. Those methods are used to create steps that fit a person’s life and schedule.
Sharonda aims to build a practical plan with each person she sees. She helps people identify concrete next steps, spot early progress, and adjust the plan as needed. The emphasis is on clear, doable changes rather than jargon or long lists of tasks.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Sharonda uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in ways that work well online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on strengths and what is already working, helping people set small, concrete goals and build on quick wins.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and day-to-day life to decide which methods to use. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the approach matches real needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins or ongoing coaching, and all formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy week.
