About Sharon

Sharon Bailey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She centers sessions on the person's goals and plans, using clear, practical steps to address the problems they bring. Conversations are direct and collaborative, with homework and check-ins to track progress.

She has a long background in social work that includes military service and time in independent practice. That history gives her experience with first responder concerns and veteran or armed forces issues.

Background and approach

Sharon also has experience in school counseling, group work, and critical incident debriefing. Her approach blends client-centered care with solution-focused and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she listens closely, then helps people identify small changes to test between sessions.

She uses narrative techniques to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. Typical concerns Sharon addresses include stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with life transitions and coaching-style goals.

Sessions are practical and paced to the person's needs. Sharon explains options, suggests exercises to try, and reviews what worked. The focus is on steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Sharon commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. Client-centered therapy means the conversation starts with what matters to the person and builds goals around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, achievable steps and experiments to create forward motion between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Sharon works with clients to decide which methods feel like the best fit based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor homework and session structure so each person moves at their own pace.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video meetings allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Messaging and live chat offer brief check-ins, quick coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, family life, or irregular schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
