About Sharleen
Sharleen King is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Virginia with 35 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, trauma, and self-esteem struggles. Sharleen encourages clients to build on their strengths and to take steady steps toward change.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She treats the person, not just the problem, and believes each client knows their story best.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify clear goals and to practice realistic steps that fit daily life. Sharleen draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders, trauma reactions, and relationship patterns rooted in family of origin. She also brings experience helping people through issues such as adoption and foster care concerns, aging and geriatric questions, coping after disasters, and first responder stress.
Clients who are dealing with shame, guilt, forgiveness, or difficult life transitions often work on rebuilding self-worth and practical routines in sessions. She also supports people navigating infidelity, hoarding, or dependency patterns with calm, steady guidance. Sessions use clear language and concrete tasks so clients can try new approaches between meetings.
The aim is steady progress that people can notice in daily life, whether that means better sleep, fewer angry reactions, or more stable moods.

Online support
Evidence-Based Care Delivered Online
Sharleen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and depression. Another approach focuses on processing reactions to trauma and abuse so symptoms become less disruptive in daily life. Both approaches emphasize small, doable steps and skills practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust pace and focus as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit modern life. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief updates, mood tracking, or skill coaching between meetings, offering flexibility for different schedules and energy levels.
